Reduction of convective heat transfer from reacting flows by application of electric fields

The electric field-induced reduction of heat transfer from a rod-stabilized diffusion flame and a step-stabilized premixed flame was investigated. The fuel examined was propane. Inlet velocity for the diffusion mode was a nominal value of 3.4 m/s with nominal air/fuel ratios of 420, 320, and 270. In...
