Stabilization of Adiabatic Premixed Laminar Flames on a Flat Flame Burner

Abstract
A simple analysis and measurements are presented, which show that adiabatic premixed laminar flames can be stabilized on a flat flame burner, especially designed for this purpose. The physical properties of these flames are identical to those of flat freely propagating flames. The adiabatic state can be accomplished in practice when the burner plate temperature is well above the temperature of the unburnt mixture. The net heat loss of the flame to the burner is zero (i.e. the flame is adiabatic) when the measured radial temperature profile of the burner plate is uniform. These flames are particularly suitable for comparison with theoretical or numerical flat flame studies.
