diffusionflame
Diffusion flame, also referred to as a diffusionflame, is a flame in which the fuel and oxidizer are supplied separately and must diffuse toward the reaction zone before burning. The flame is sustained by the diffusive transport of reactants rather than premixed combustion. Common examples include hydrocarbon flames burning in air such as a candle flame, gas burners with separate fuel and air streams, and many industrial diffusion flames.
In laminar diffusion flames, the reaction zone forms at the interface between the fuel-rich and oxidizer-rich
Modeling diffusion flames commonly involves diffusion-transport equations coupled to chemical kinetics. The Burke-Schumann model describes a
Practical aspects include tendencies to form soot and emit high levels of NOx under fuel-rich conditions. Diffusion
