✦ Synopsis

Confined turbulent swirling combustion data obtained from gas chromatographs, gas analysers, thermocouples and a hot wire anemometer for a wide range of operating conditions are analysed. The effects of swirling flow, inlet velocity and equivalence ratio on different parameters with and without secondary air are discussed. The experimental data obtained have facilitated better understanding of swirl reacting flow and provided generalized relations for the turbulent viscosity and chemical reaction required for the-development of numerical prediction methods.
