This report is submitted to the United States Department of Energy in partial fulfillment of the contractual requirements for Phase I of the project titled, "Real Time Flame Monitoring of Gasifier Burner and Injectors", under cooperative agreement number DE-FS26-02NT41585. The project is composed of three one-year budget periods. The work in each year is divided into separate Tasks to facilitate project management, orderly completion of all project objectives, budget control, and critical path application of personnel and equipment. This Topical Report presents results of the Task 1 and 2 work. The 2 D optical sensor was developed to monitor selected UV and visible wavelengths to collect accurate flame characterization information regarding mixing, flame shape, and flame rich/lean characteristic. Flame richness, for example, was determined using OH and CH intensity peaks in the 300 to 500 nanometer range of the UV and visible spectrum. 7 OH*, CH*, and OH*/CH* Images From Flames of 0% Excess Air (nozzle size shown).
