Fuel Shape Effect On The Deterministic Properites Of Turbulent Diffusion Flames

Abstract

Measurements of flame height and temperature distribution above fuel surface were made on rectangular propane burners i,.p a huge calm eln~os~72.' Flame height is represented as a function of Q d; Q/ p CpT g AB , where A and B are the length of the shorter and m'1'onger ~ide 0 of a fuel respectively. Vertical distribution of temperature above the center of a fuel is compared with temperature profiles for square fuels and for line fuels. Finally a practical criterion for the approximation of rectangular fuels by square and line source is proposed.
