Abstract

ABSTRACT
In the present research, the propagation properties of premixed combustion at high
stability has been investigated using three types of hydrocarbon fuels (LPG, C3H8,
and C4H10) in a tubular burner. Experimental work has been carried out for laminar
fuel-air mixture.
Bunson burner methods were introduced for designing and manufacturing of
integrated combustion system to get a wide range of equivalence ratio introducing all
the reactance in combustion process, computed and increase the range efficiency of
combustion stability to (s=9.33%), reducing losses in dead space zone, reducing
emissions products by reducing the emission of (NOX,CO).
The laminar burning velocity has been computed using two techniques based on
flame frontal surface area and angle of frame front with aid of data image of flame
front at atmosphere pressure and Tu=300K for a range of equivalence ratio (0.7<
<1.5).
Comparison of results with previous literature showed good agreement with the
present work.
