Probe Diagnostics of Meteotron Flame

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

A movable double probe was used to study the large-scale naked flame of the meteotron installation. The paper gives a description of the installation and experimental technique used and the data obtained. The electron temperature and the degree of ionization of the flame plasma are obtained from current–voltage characteristics. The operation mode of the probe–flame plasma system is determined. The possibility of positive surface ionization of the potassium atoms adsorbed on soot particles and in the flame volume is indicated.
