Flames

Triple Flame

Flame propagation, which is one of the significant factors controlling flame stability, is an issue of considerable fundamental importance to combustor design, and has been studied for several decades. Beginning in the 1960’s, the triple flame has been observed and studied for over five decades. It is believed that triple flames are responsible for flame propagation and stabilization in various non-premixed or partially premixed stratified mixing layers.

Methanol spray combustion

For liquid fuel, combustion is an energetic method for transformation from chemical energy to heat, kinetic, or another type of energy. Understanding the spray combustion of methanol and its stabilization, emissions, and relative efficiency will be useful to serve as the basis for further high-efficiency application and control of the flame and combustion for methanol.
