Abstract
An attempt is made to study in some detail the turbulent mixing of reacting (propane) and inert jets (air and carbon dioxide) in a channel. The results are given of an experimental investigation into diffusion combustion in a channel, and these are compared with calculated data obtained using a semiempirical theory of turbulence. Such a comparison makes it possible to estimate the applicability of this theory for calculating the characteristics of diffusion combustion in a channel.
