Study of laminar-jet diffusion flames
Based on the Shvab-Zeldovich formulation, the mass, momentum, and species equations for a laminar-jet diffusion flame are simplified. These equations are observed to be identical to those of a laminar hot jet and can be readily solved. Utilizing analytical results and general behaviors of experimental data, closed form correlations for flame height and flame shape are generated and shown to give good agreement with experimental data for all gaseous fuels. The development of these correlations indicates that there exists strong correlation between the fuel/air combustion ratio on the flame surface and the relative fuel/air velocity. Generally, the combustion proceeds at a fuel/air ratio higher than the stoichiometric ratio and increases with increasing relative fuel/air velocity.
