Abstract
A detailed experimental study has been carried out on the influence of electrical and flow parameters on minimum spark ignition energy in flowing combustible mixtures. Methane and propane fuels were used in mixtures of oxygen and various inert gases such as nitrogen, helium, argon, and carbon dioxide. In some tests, the influences of various flow parameters such as pressure, velocity, and turbulence were examined. In others, attention was focused on the electrical aspects of spark ignition. The variables investigated include spark duration, breakdown voltage, and electrode geometry. The object of the paper is to summarize and review the main conclusions of these studies. Nomenclature
