Abstract The dynamic process of the interaction between a turbulent jet diffusion methane flame and a lateral wall was experimentally studied. The evolution of the flame temperature field with the Nitrogen dilution of the methane jet flame was examined. The interaction between the diffusion flame and the lateral wall was investigated for different distance between the wall and the central axes of the jet flame. The dilution is found to play the central role in the flame extinction process. The flame response as the lateral wall approaches from infinity and the increasing of the dilution rate make the flame extinction more rapid than the flame without dilution, when the nitrogen dilution rate increase the flame temperature decrease.

The present research aims to analyse diffusion flame in a tube type burner with Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel. An experimental investigation is performed to study flame appearance, flame stability, Soot free length fraction (SFLF) and CO emission of LPG diffusion flame. Effects of varying air and fuel velocities are analysed to understand the physical process involved in combustion. SFLF is measured to estimate the reduction of soot. Stability limits of the diffusion flame are characterized by the blowoff velocity. Emission characteristic in terms of CO level is measured at different equivalence ratios. Experimental results show that the air and fuel velocity strongly influences the appearance of LPG diffusion flame. At a constant fuel velocity, blue zone increases and the luminous zone decreases with the increase in air velocity. It is observed that the SFLF increases with increasing air velocity at a constant fuel velocity. It is observed that the blowoff velocity of the diffusion flame increases as fuel velocity increases. Comparison of emission for flame with and without swirl indicates that swirl results in low emission of CO and higher flame stability. Swirler with 45° vanes achieved the lowest CO emission of 30 ppm at Φ = 1.3.

The purpose of this study is to observe methane jet flames under varying levels of nitrogen dilution and coflowing air. The jet flames were examined in order to determine the conditions for which liftoff and blowout occur under conditions that strain the flame. Methane flow rates were varied, corresponding to intermediate lifted positions to blowout. A sequence of images were taken at each level of dilution and coflow, and were used to determine the lowest radial and axial position of the flammability limit. These flammability regions were compared to the lean flammability limit. It was observed that flame shape and liftoff were considerably more influenced by the effects of the coflowing air compared to the presence of the diluents, and that flames under coflow lost the trailing diffusion flame earlier, which has been shown to be a marker for flame blowout.

Mechanisms related to diffusion flame stabilization have been the subject of several studies within the last decades due the industrial and scientific interests. Information on flame stability is of fundamental importance in energy efficiency and safety regarding industrial applications. Thus, an experimental study was performed in order to examine the flame characteristics and regions of stability limits. In this study, a representative burner of industrial applications was employed, which allows the stabilization of several combustion regimes. The lift-off and blow-out flame regimes were investigated for different proportions of carbon dioxide in natural gas. In this way, an analysis of the calorific fuel influence on the flame stability was performed based on the measurements and a comparison with classical literature models was done. The fuel dilution by adding carbon dioxide was found to decrease the soot production, leading to lower flame heights and also, lower lift-off and blow-out limits. Results obtained from this study encourage future works which consider flames in large scale, in order to equate to industrial applications.
