ResumoThe burning velocities of methane and Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) mixtures with air were measured in a stationary flat flame on a burner at a pressure of 1 bar and a temperature of 25{sup o}C, by means of a particle-tracking method. Measurements were made from methane-air flame over the equivalence range 0.8 - 1.2 for comparison with data obtained by other researchers using similar low-stretch burner flames. The maximum burning velocity of methane was found to be 42 cm/s. The SNG mixtures studied were methane/hydrogen and methane/hydrogen/propane, with hydrogen contents up to 40 mol% and propane contents up to 19 mol%. The influence of inert gases, nitrogen and CO{sub 2}, on the burning velocity of methane/air mixture was also determined. (author).
