flame stability

Flame stability refers to the ability of a flame to stay consistently lit under various conditions. It depends on factors like the correct balance of fuel, oxygen, and heat. If there's too little oxygen or fuel, the flame can go out. Too much turbulence or changes in airflow can cause flickering or extinguishing. Stable flames are steady and predictable, ensuring safe and efficient burning. Engineers design burners and combustion systems to maintain this stability, preventing interruptions or hazards, by carefully controlling these elements so the flame remains persistent and reliable over time.
