Experimental data on stability limits and combustion efficiency of a 3-in-diam combustor using gaseous fuel are presented. These data have been correlated by an empirical evaluation of the results of a dimensional analysis. Theories are proposed, based upon the experimental data, regarding combustor-stabilization processes. Laminar flame speed was shown to be a satisfactory index of the influence of base combustion rate on combustor performance.
