laminar burning velocity

Laminar burning velocity is a measure of how fast a flame front moves through a fuel-air mixture when the flame spreads smoothly and steadily in a controlled, non-turbulent environment. It reflects the flame’s ability to propagate under ideal conditions without turbulence. A higher laminar burning velocity indicates a quicker flame spread, which can influence engine efficiency and safety. It depends on factors like fuel type, mixture composition, temperature, and pressure. Understanding this helps in designing engines and safety measures to optimize performance and prevent issues like explosions.
