Abstract
A universal non-dimensional formula that describes the blow-out stability limit of gaseous jet diffusion flames in still air has been found experimentally. Its validity has been established over a wide range of parameters that affect the blow-out limit. Its extrapolation to cases where the burner exit flow is choked suggests that for a given gas there is a critical burner diameter above which a stable flame can exist at any flow rate.Keywords
