Understanding of the chemical processes that govern formation and destruction of nitrogen
oxides (NO x) in combustion processes continues to be a challenge. Even though this area …

The laminar burning velocity is a fundamental property of combustible mixtures important for
kinetic model validation as well as for practical applications. Many efforts are directed …

The nitric oxide (NO) formation in methane (CH 4) flames has been widely investigated, with
quite a few kinetic mechanisms available in the literature. However, studies have shown that …

We report an experimental and modeling study on prompt-NO formation in low-pressure (5.3
kPa) premixed flames. Special emphasis is given to the quantitative detection (and …

Laser-based diagnostic methods can measure the absolute concentrations of various atoms
and molecules, even at low concentrations. They can also measure temperature with high …

Flame-sampling experiments allow for describing the species profiles as a function of the
height above the burner. Even with microprobes as those generally used for gas …

The NH2 absolute concentration profiles were measured by intracavity laser absorption
spectroscopy in methane/air laminar flat flames doped with trace amounts of ammonia (∼ …

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in chemiluminescence, since it has been
shown that these emissions can be used to determine flame parameters such as …

The absolute, quantitative spatially resolved distribution of CH radicals was measured in the
reaction zone of a low-pressure methane/air flame (25 Torr) using a combination of laser …

The effect of preheated reactants on syngas production from a methane/air flame was
investigated over a range of inlet temperatures up to 630K. In addition to experimental …
