✦ Synopsis

Studies of the electrical properties of seeded, high-temperature, low-pressure flames have been made to determine the influence of electric and magnetic fields on plasma properties and to evaluate plasma diagnostic techniques. The investigation was carried out at pressures from 20 to 100 mm of mercury where both magnetic and fluid viscosities influenced the flame electrical conductivity, and where the electric field produced abnormal glow and arc discharges. The deflection of flames at low Pressures was found to reach a limit when slippage of charged particles through the flame fanned out the flame rather than further deflecting it.
