Abstract

The laminar combustion properties of fuel-air mixtures at high temperature and pressure are of fundamental importance in modeling turbulent combustion in internal combustion engines [1]. The spherical constant-volume technique has been considered one of the most suitable for investigating the fundamental properties of laminar flame [2,3]. Measuring the flame-front positions is a fundamental requirement but it has been done with ion probes which may introduce an undesirable disturbance into the flame.
