Abstract
Mechanical vibrations in a burner are found to affect the characteristics of premixed flames. In the present experimental investigation, the effects of axial vibrations of a tubular burner on the characteristics of laminar premixed methane-air flames are investigated. The effect of the frequency and amplitude of the burner vibrations on the flame height oscillations are studied. At a low frequency of around 10 Hz, no effect of vibrations on flame characteristics is observed. At frequencies higher than 10 Hz, the amplitude of flame height oscillations is found to increase with increase in both frequency and amplitude of burner vibrations for the range of frequencies and amplitudes considered.
