Abstract

Hydrogen jet diffusion flames were observed near their quenching limits. These involved downward laminar flow of hydrogen from a stainless steel hypodermic tube with an inside diameter of 0.15 mm. Near their quenching limits these flames had hydrogen flow rates of 3.9 and 2.1 μg/s in air and oxygen, respectively. Assuming complete combustion, the associated heat release rates are 0.46 and 0.25. W. To the authors' knowledge, these are the weakest self-sustaining steady flames ever observed.
