ABSTRACT

It is not the purpose here to critically evaluate all of the experimental techniques that may be used in industrial combustion systems. Instead, each technique is briefly discussed, including its advantages and disadvantages. Specific references for each technique are provided that give more details for the interested reader. Several excellent general references have been published concerning combustion diagnostics. An early book by Beér and Chigier (1972) gives detailed descriptions and diagrams of different probes used to make measurements in industrial-scale flames.
