Abstract
This study demonstrates the applicability of LIF in several practical combustors. Temperature and species concentration were measured inside industrial model burners, gas turbine combustors, diesel engines, and large scale industrial burners. This visualization technique introduces a new tool for use with practical combustors for the analysis of NO formation characteristics, turbulent flame front structure, and differences between normal and improved combustors.
