Effects of Electric Fields on the Combustion Characteristics of Lean Burn Methane-Air Mixtures

In this work, the effects of the electric fields on the flame propagation and combustion characteristics of lean premixed methane–air mixtures were experimentally investigated in a constant volume chamber. Results show that the flame front is remarkably stretched by the applied electric field, the s...
