GC Measurements

Experiments have been performed in the department of Fuel and Energy in which a low pressure flat flame burner has been constructed, and flame species profiles obtained by sampling via a quartz probe, with analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionisation and thermal conductivity detection. The following table summarises the experimental conditions and shows the measured data (% volume fractions) along with the simulated profiles.
