STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURES ON THE LAMINAR BURNING VELOCITY OF PROPANE-AIR MIXTURES

Abstract

Laminar burning velocities were obtained at wide equivalence ratios of propane –air mixtures. The effect of elevated temperatures was also analyzed. It was found that the laminar burning velocity is increased with the increase of temperature at constant pressure. For equivalence ratio= 1.1 the laminar burning velocity was always the maximum. The laminar flame speed results were compared with other researches and it was found a good agreement.
