A simplified analysis has been attempted on flame stabilization by bluff-body based on a physical model. The proposed theoretical model predicts with fair accuracy the experimental results of Zukoski and Marble (1956), Fetting et al. (1959) and also of the present investigation. Implications of theoretical and experimental results have been discussed.
Flame stabilization by bluff-bodies has been investigated to highlight the role of recirculation zone on the phenomenon. It has been observed that close correlations exist between heat exchange from recirculation zone and flame stability as controlled by recirculation strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
