Show ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors would like to thank Gas Research Institute and Dr. R.V. Serauskas for support of this work through GRI contract 5093-260-2729. The experiments were performed at the Burner Engineering Research Laboratory (BERL) located in the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. The BERL is funded by the Gas Research Institute (GRI) and the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies, and the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Division of Chemical Sciences. The BERL is operated by Sandia, The Energy and Environmental Research Corporation, and the University of California, Irvine, Combustion Laboratory under contract to GRI. The authors would also like to thank Dr. Roman Weber and his colleagues at the IFRF for their work on the SCALING 400 program which led to the original data set, and Mr. Robert Gansman, Babcock and Wilcox ARC for his work on the detailed kinetics predictions for the BERL flames.
