Abstract:
The scaling laws for flame length of large buoyant
diffusion flames have not been established on any basis
except simple correlations and the correct parameters to
be used in these have not been clearly established.
Several possible parameters are discussed and a set of
experiments is described in which the effects on the
flame length of changing these parameters are
investigated. The changes in the parameters are
accomplished by diluting natural gas fuel with nitrogen
and by heating and diluting the ambient air with
products of combustion.
