Summary
Measurements using laser Raman, laser Rayleigh and laser induced fluorescence in turbulent diffusion flames of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fuels indicate strong effects of stoichiometric mixture fraction and fuel kinetics on the flame structure and mechanism of extinction. Equations for the moments of species mass fractions conditional on mixture fraction are presented. They are shown to give insight into the various aspects of flame structure and the relative roles of kinetics and mixing in the extinction process and to be an effective basis for advanced combustor modelling.
