The Influence of an External Magnetic Field on the Burning of a High-Speed Air-Carbon Mixture

Abstract

We present the experimental results on the influence of a non-uniform magnetic field on the processes of burning an air-propane mixture in a high-speed flow; the burning is initiated by a longitudinaltransverse DC discharge. From the experiments, it follows that by varying the value and the orientation of the magnetic-induction vector with respect to the direction of the discharge current we may be able to govern the process of burning an air-propane mixture in a high-speed flow.
