Expt 4: Observations on Flame height of a Laminar Jet Diffusion Flame

Precautions



  • Ensure that the fuel line is leak proof.

  • Experiments should be conducted in a ventilated room.

  • Keep a fire extinguisher near the experimental setup.

  • Switch on the exhaust fan before conducting experiments.

  • Ensure that the control valves are functioning properly.

  • The fuel flow rate has to be set to a minimum value initially using the control valve and ignited at the burner exit with the help of an igniter.

  • The fuel supply has to be stopped when the fuel jet is not getting ignited for a considerable time. Then the burner should be purged with air to avoid accumulation of unburnt fuel.
