Infrared radiation from a Bunsen flame.

Many observers have studied th e infrared emi sion of a Bunsen flame [11. 2 The strongest band ocem s at about 4.4 Il and is produced by carbon dioxid e. Other bands have been found a t 0.95, 1.45, 2.0, and 2.8 Il , and are a ttributed to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Very little radiation has been observed in the region beyond 7 Il . In the visible and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum, co...

Investigation of Bunsen flame dynamics by the method of characteristics

Understanding the dynamics and the stabilisation of flames is important for practical applications and for theoretical research. Here, to investigate the time-evolution of a Bunsen flame in a Poiseuille flow, we extend a G-equation-based kinematic model by accounting for flame stabilisation. The nonlinear G-equation is solved analytically using the methods of characteristics. The solution is th...

Transfer function of acoustically perturbed Bunsen flames. Theoretical investigation

The kinematic models for perturbed flames from [7, 6] are extended to account for flames with arbitrary cone angles and a burning velocity with non constant direction. This extension improves the description of the front close to the boundary and, consequently, the behaviour of the flame response to velocity perturbations. PACS: 43.28.Kt; 47.75.Pq; 02.60.Cb
