ABSTRACT

When a premixed fuel:air mixture is ignited, the flame is established at a distance L from the burner. The theory behind such a phenomenon is that as the mixture is lit, the flame propagates toward the burner with a velocity S; however, the flame is stabalized at L because the gas velocity is equal and opposite to S. The flame velocity is a function of stoichiometry. Assuming that the flame is anchored at x and y such that the fuel is locally in stoichiometric proportion to oxygen, and gas velocity at that point is equal to S, derive an expression for that location.
