Homework Statement
Is the velocity of a bunsen burner flame proportional to the cold flow velocity?
Homework Equations
S = Usin a
Where S = flame velocity
U = cold flow velocity
a = half cone angle
The Attempt at a Solution
I took numerous photographs of flames of increasing flow rate and drew a triange over the flame front and then used the trig equation about to calculate S. ( I knew U from the flow metres)
I have that S increases with U but I don't know if this is right! I'm on a meltdown at the moment and this thing is due in the morning and it's driving me mad!
