Abstract
The influence of an electric field whose intensity vector rotates around the flame axis on the shape of the diffusion flame of propane is experimentally studied. Application of spectrozonal registration makes it possible to obtain information about the radiation intensity distribution at wavelengths of intermediate reaction products (OH, CH, and C2). Different positions of the peak intensity of the own radiation of the flame at different wavelengths testify to the influence of such an electric field on the mixing processes, namely, mixing is more intense than that in the regime without application of the electric field. This feature may turn out to be useful for increasing the efficiency of combustion of gaseous hydrocarbon fuels.
