Show ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The program described is supported by the California Institute of Energy Efficiency (CIEE) with Dr. Ed Vine as the Program Monitor, and the Southern California Gas Company with Mr. Cherif Youssef as the Program Monitor. We are indebted to the advice and counsel of a twenty-five member Advisory Committee, and to three colleagues who have devoted time and energy in critiquing both the burner design and test protocol: Dr. Richard Waibel (JohnZink), Mr. Steve Londerville (Coen), and Mr. Barry McDonald (CARNOT). In the Laboratory, Mr. Raj Sockalingam (an undergraduate student) has provided invaluable technical support to the graduate students and staff. REFERENCES 1.
