EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF CHEMI-IONIZATION IN FLAMES

Abstract

Observations and a complete discussion of the work achieved in the laboratory during the last three years are presented. (1) Description and discussion of two new methods for the determination of the ion concentration in the flame reaction zone (excluding the region of burned gases) by measurements of the electrical conductivity of the flame front. (2) Mass-spectrometry method of identification of the ions which can be extracted from a flame. Complete description of the equipment and summary of the most significant results. (3) Discussion of the problem of the primary process in the production of chemi-ion. In the burning zone of a flame. This discussion is based on the observations which have been made not only on oxygen supported flames but also on mixtures of different fuels with nitrous oxide.
