Abstract
Described herein is a fuel identification and flame behavior monitoring system. The system comprises one or more sensors configured to monitor photons emitted from a flame emission during combustion of a fuel and correspondingly generate one or more spectrum signals associated with one or more radicals generated from the flame emission. A controller in communication with the one or more sensors is configured to determine a fuel composition of the fuel based on a variation in the one or more generated spectrum signals. The one or more generated spectrum signals vary based on an intensity ratio associated with the one or more radicals.

A fuel identification and flame behavior monitoring system, the system comprising:
- one or more sensors configured to monitor photons emitted from a flame emission during combustion of a fuel and correspondingly generate one or more spectrum signals associated with one or more radicals generated from the flame emission;
- and
- a controller in communication with the one or more sensors, the controller configured to:
- determine a fuel composition of the fuel based on a variation in the one or more generated spectrum signals, wherein the one or more generated spectrum signals vary based on an intensity ratio associated with the one or more radicals.
A method for fuel identification and flame behavior monitoring, the method comprising:
- monitoring, by one or more sensors, photons emitted from a flame emission during combustion of a fuel and correspondingly generating one or more spectrum signals associated with one or more radicals generated from the flame emission;
- and
- determining, by a controller, a fuel composition of the fuel based on a variation in the one or more generated spectrum signals, wherein the one or more generated spectrum signals vary based on an intensity ratio associated with the one or more radicals.
