- Abstract
- Critical equivalence ratios have been measured as a function of temperature for premixed flames at atmospheric pressure. The five fuels studied are methane, ethane, propane, ethylene, and acetylene. The flames were stabilized on a flat flame burner and the temperatures were measured using sodium D-line reversal.
