A flat flame burner as calibration source for combustion research: Temperatures and species concentrations of premixed H2/air flames

A commercially available flat flame burner with a sintered porous bronze disk was used to stabilize premixed H2/air flames at atmospheric pressure. Temperatures for various stoichiometries, flow rates, and heights above the burner disk have been measured by coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering with an accuracy of ≊2.5%. The corresponding exhaust gas compositions have been derived from equilibrium calculations. This burner together with the data presented in this article can be used for the verification or calibration of a variety of measuring techniques in combustion research.
