Abstract
Abstract Stability of flames are affected by fuel properties, geometry of the burner and operating conditions. In this experimental work, first the characteristics of non-premixed flames of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and air in cross-flow configuration, where air jet flows perpendicular to the fuel stream, are studied experimentally. Flame transition and stability regimes of non-premixed flames of LPG and air, in a cross-flow burner without and with obstacles, are determined by systematically varying the fuel and air flow rates. Obstacles such as backward facing step and cylindrical bluff bodies are considered. Subsequently, the effects of fuel properties on the stability of flames are analyzed, Flame stability regimes of natural gas (methane) and biogas (methane and carbon-dioxide), measured from a similar burner are available in literature. These have been compared with the stability of LPG flames in terms of power rating of the burner and global equivalence ratio (defined for non-premixed flames).
