Abstract
THE burning velocities of stoichiometric mixtures of hydrogen and nitric oxide, and of methane and nitric oxide have been measured by the Bunsen burner method over the pressure-range 0.2–40 atm. abs. An averaged burning velocity was obtained from the measurement of the total volume flow of gas and the total area of the flame front. The experimental technique was essentially that of Diederichsen and Wolfhard1.
