A series of flames demonstrates a transition as fuels are subjected to low-temperature oxidation prior to their introduction to a high-temperature flame. This transition has implications for the properties of the flames, including burning rates and emissions. Such investigations into the fundament science of combustion will contribute to the development of innovative energy conversion processes and transformational technologies at Princeton.
