A spectroscopy and visual investigation for turbulent swirling flames formed by four-circumferential swirling turbojet EV in comparison with a two-circumferential swirling air entries configuration burner using hyper spectral camera. The special design of the EV-burner guarantees flame stabilization at the burner exit by a recirculation of hot gases and entrained fresh reactance mixture. A recirculation zone (vortex breakdown) can be generated when a sufficient strong swirling flow exist. The main parameter of combustion diagnostics based on optical devices is the flame itself, whose spectrum is closely related to the process state, as a fingerprint of the instantaneous operational condition, in terms of energetic yield, fuel consumption and pollutants emissions. The hyperspectral imaging technique in the aspect of flame analysis to give a complete description for the flame zones behavior and distribution of reactions through the whole flame. The spectral peaks for issued flames have been studied to give complete vision for the effect of changing the equivalence ratio and different burner arrangement four and two circumferential swirling entries.
