Abstract

We describe a simple method for the simultaneous determination of burning velocity and quenching distance in laminar flames from measurement of flame propagation speeds. The method is applied to determine these two parameters in propane/air laminar flames at different equivalence ratios. The maximum burning velocity obtained using our method is higher than any previously reported value. The theory behind the new approach is also described.
