“…The most common method of using chemiluminescence consists in calculating the intensity ratios between different zones of the spectrum, typically, those associated with OH*, CH*, C * 2 (at 309, 431 and 517 nm, respectively) or CO * 2 (responsible for the broadband background radiation). Working with intensity ratios displays some advantages such as, avoiding interferences due to geometrical or optical parameters of the measurement setup and being independent of the strain rate [13,16,17], aerodynamics or turbulence intensities [18,19]. However, although chemiluminescence emission, especially from OH*, has been recorded and analyzed as an indicator of flame behavior for different fuels (syngas, longer hydrocarbons, such as n-heptane, or liquid fuels) in previous works [8,18e24], most of the results have been obtained in methane flames and only a few of them, such as those from Nori et al [18e20], are focused on analyzing the feasibility of chemiluminescence as a monitoring technique in syngas flames and on how the fuel composition may change the relations between chemiluminescence and equivalence ratio by modifying the flame spectra [8].…”
