Flame Propagation Unit — MOE Lab Tender Details

Flame Propagation Unit  for Thermodynamics Lab Equipments

The flame propagation is to be designed to study the aspects of flame control in combustion systems using gaseous fuels. The unit should allow the student to vary air/fuel ratios over a wide range and use different types of gaseous fuels.  
Objectives:
1. Demonstration of the process of flame lift-off
2. Demonstration of the process of flame light-back
3. To investigate the relationship of flame speed and air/fuel ratio for a variety of slow
burning gaseous fuels
4. Enable students to investigate methods of improving flame stability limits
