Abstract

Recently combustion studies have actively increased with a view to saving energy and avoiding pollution. To analyze combustion processes, it is important to know the gas temperatures and concentrations. Various methods have been described for measuring flame temperature [1]. Often it is undesirable or impossible to use conventional probes such as thermocouples. In such cases, optical methods are used.
