Abstract:

In this paper, the effects of magnetic induction intensity on the height, temperature and stable flow range of the micro-scale diffusion flame of liquid ethanol were experimentally investigated. The results show that, in a fixed magnetic field, the flame height decreases, while the flame temperature increases and the stable flow range expands. All these phenomena are due to the effect of fixed magnetic field on the ions and ion clusters in incomplete combustion.

Key words: diffusion flame, magnetic field, flame height, flame temperature, stable combustion
