Experimental study of the dynamics and structure of self-sustaining premixed cool flames using a counterflow burner

Self-sustaining premixed cool flames are successfully stabilized in a dimethyl ether/oxygen counterflow burner through ozone addition, creating a new platform for the quantitative measurement of cool flame extinction limits, ignition limits, and structure as well as the validation of low-temperature chemical kinetic models. First, results show that stable premixed cool flames can exist over a broad region of equivalence ratios and strain rates,...
