General Description: Two series of flames burning mixtures of methane and hydrogen were investigated. In the first series, the hydrogen molar fraction in the fuel was variedfrom 37% to 55%, with a constant jet exit Reynolds number of 15,000. In the second series the jet exit Reynolds number was variedfrom 12,000 to 18,000, while keeping 55% H2 molar fraction in the fuel. One flame is common to both series. The fuel nozzle had 5-mm inside diameter with 0.5 mm wall thickness and squared-off end. Thanks to the H2 content in the fuel, the flame remained attached to the fuel nozzle. The nozzle had its tip 40 mm above the exit plane of the coflow honeycomb and was long enough so that when the fuel mixture reached the nozzle tip the flow was considered fully developed. The fuel nozzle was surrounded by a laminar coflow with 32% molar fraction of O2 in CO2 and a diameter of 96.5 mm. Measurements were performed at Sandia National Laboratories using simultaneous line imaging of Raman/Rayleigh. The setup enabled measurements of single-shot profiles of temperature and the mass fractions of all major species (CO2, O2, CO, N2, CH4, H2O and H2). The spatial resolution was 0.104 mm along a ~6 mm section of the focused beam. There are no velocity measurements for these flames.
