Laminar flame speed and stretch sensitivity of hydrocarbon fuels at high preheat, pressure and vitiation

This thesis investigates the laminar flame speed of C₁-C₃ alkanes and their binary mixtures at conditions of interest in natural gas based gas turbines viz. high temperature, pressure and dilution. Laminar flame speed has been found useful not only for validating chemical kinetics mechanisms but als...
