Abstract
The laminar burning velocity of ethanol-water-air flames at atmospheric pressure and initial gas temperatures of T = 358 K was measured with the heat flux method. The mixture of ethanol-water-air contained 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% water by mole and the equivalence ratio (ϕ) range was varied from 0.7 to 1.4. The experiments were compared against predictions using three different kinetic models.
