Abstract:
A burner comprising:a combustion chamber; a fuel flow passage in fluid flow communication with said combustion chamber for providing a fuel stream to said combustion chamber; an oxidant flow passage in fluid flow communication with said combustion chamber for providing an oxidant stream to said combustion chamber; a partition disposed between said fuel flow passage and said oxidant flow passage, said partition having a distal end terminating in the combustion chamber for controlling mixing intensity of the fuel stream and the oxidant stream; a converging/diverging flame nozzle in fluid flow communication with said combustion chamber, said flame nozzle having a ratio of width to height greater than unity; and an ignition means for controlled ignition of said fuel stream and said oxidant stream in said combustion chamber in order to produce a flame jet sheet from said converging/diverging flame nozzle.
