Hydrocarbon flame in non-stationary electric field

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of a non-stationary weak electric field effect on a hydrocarbon torch. An electric field is applied across the torch and the non-stationary nature of its effect is created by rotation of the electric field intensity vector around a fuel jet axis. For this purpose a specially designed electric field scheme is used. Great attention is paid to the influence of an electric field on flame stabilization. For practical application of obtained results the model burner device was designed and made, the prototype of which was the “pipe-in-pipe” type DVM blast burner. The developed model of the burner is equipped with the electric scheme for impact on the flame of gaseous hydrocarbons used as the fuel.
