An experimental study on laminar CH4/O2/N2 premixed flames under an electric field

This work investigates the electric field effect on gas temperature, radiative heat flux and flame speed of premixed CH 4 /O 2 /N 2 flames in order to gain a better insight into the mechanism of controlling the combustion process by electrophysical means. Experiments were performed on laminar Bunsen...
