Abstract: Gaseous diffusion flames are commonly encountered in domestic and industrial burners, where fuel and air are admitted separately and slow mixing is followed by rapid chemical reaction rates. Experimental studies were carried out on free-jet diffusion flames of liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The gaseous fuel issued from orifices having diameters from 0.035 to 0.5 cm and was burned in free air. For each gas-orifice diameter, the limits and heights of both the seated and lifted flames were investigated as a function of the gas velocity. For these flames, empirical formulae are postulated for the measured flame heights. In addition, these heights are compared with published work for other gaseous fuels.
