Abstract
The author first describes the fundamental aspects of the production of high-temperature flames and considers the thermodynamic and burner design features that control the successful production of high-temperature flames. Information is also given on flame temperatures and flame-gas compositions. The design and performance of a variety of designs of gaseous, liquid, and solid oxy-fuel burners are outlined. In addition, the diagnostic techniques that can be applied to hightemperature flames are summarized. Finally, the applications of oxy-fuel burners are briefly outlined.
