A Parametric Study on the Pulsation of Burner-Stabilized CH4-O2 Flames Moderated by CO2 Addition -- Frequencies, Modes and Regime Diagrams
This study investigated the pulsating instability of burner-stabilized premixed CH4-O2 flames at various levels of CO2 dilution. Experiments were conducted using a water-cooled porous-plug burner of 18 mm diameter over a wide range of mixture compositions and flow rates, during which time-resolved measurements of flame chemiluminescence and gas temperature were obtained. The primary oscillation frequencies of the pulsating flames were determined using fast Fourier transform and harmonic power a…
