Flame Speed and Laminar Burning Velocity in Syngas/Air Mixtures: A Review

Abstract

Flame speed and laminar burning velocity (LBV) are important properties of fuel combustion. Both have an impact on how combustion systems are designed and operated. As a result, understanding how LBV and flame speed fluctuate as a function of thermodynamic conditions is critical for understanding the impact of practical applications in all combustion systems. Working pressures and temperatures are far higher than those found in the environment. Several studies on flame speed and LBV have been conducted. This study, however, includes a thorough literature analysis of approaches and procedures used to measure these two parameters, as well as the effects of operational factors for various fuels, with a focus on biofuels, for the sake of review simplicity.
