Spark ignition of premixed gases was experimentally studied. Minimum ignition energy and initial burning velocity, which is a burning velocity at an initial stage of flame propagation, were measured and their dependences on equivalence ratio were discussed. Minimum ignition energy takes a minimum value when equivalence ratio is around 0.9 for methane/air mixtures, and around 1.5 for n-butane/air mixtures, which corresponds with the study of Lewis and von Elbe. A shadowgraph technique was used to observe the growth of the flame kernels. A burning velocity was measured from the images of the flame kernel, and initial burning velocity was defined as a burning velocity at the moment when the equivalent radius of the flame kernel is approximately 3.0mm. Initial burning velocity takes a maximum value when equivalence ratio is around 0.9 for methane/air mixtures, and around 1.5 for n-butane/air mixtures, while laminar burning velocity of well-grown flame takes a maximum value when equivalence ratio is around 1.1 for both mixtures as known well. This is caused by the curvature of flame surface at the initial stage. It is suggested that the equivalence-ratio dependence of minimum ignition energy is derived from that of initial burning velocity.

To explore the behavior of near-extinction flamelets in turbulent premixed flames, emission intensities of OH, CH and C2 radicals of hydrocarbon-air premixed flames have been examined using the newly developed emission spectroscopy system. It has been shown in our previous study that the emission intensity ratio of 515.5 nm/470.5 nm bands of C2 radical uniquely depends on the temperature of unstrained methane/air and propane/air flames. In the present study, to establish the technique that estimates the temperature of the near-extinction flamelet of turbulent premixed flames, the relation between the temperature and the emission intensity ratio of 515.5 nm/470.5 nm bands of C2 radical of strained flames has been sought by using a counter-flow burner. The unique relation between the flame temperature and the emission intensity ratio of 515.5 nm/470.5 nm bands of C2 radical has been found to exist for the Propane-air and the Butane-air strained flames. Therefore, it can be concluded that the temperature of flamelets of the Propane-air and the Butane-air turbulent premixed flames can be estimated by using the relation between the temperature of the strained flame and the emission intensity ratio of 515.5 nm/470.5 nm bands of C2 radical obtained in the present study.
