Abstract

The flame expansion factor (ratio of volumes of flame gases before and after burning) has been determined by mercury vapour introduction. The method is based on the determination of atomic concentration ratio in the flame and the flameless gas jet using the same sample introduction rate. A good agreement has been found between the expansion factors determined by the proposed method and those calculated by the gas law.
