Distribution of energy in the visible spectrum of an acetylene flame
Year: 1916
In a previous paper, data were given of the spectral energy distribution of a flat acetylene flame radiating edgewise into the slit of a mirror spectrometer. The data given in the present paper refer to a cylindrical acetylene flame, produced by a single-jet "Crescent /b Aero/" burner, consuming 1/4 cub. ft, of gas per hour, the gas pressure at the outlet being 7.5 cm. of water. The central portion of the flame (35 mm. high and 3 mm. thick) was used. In the region of the spectrum extending from the yellow to the violet the spectral energy distribution of all the flames examined appears to be the same, within the limits of observation. On the other hand, in the region extending from the red toward the long wave-lengths, the
