It is now well known that an electrical field has a great effect on flames of organic materials in air. A broad range of experimental material has been accumulated on the effects of fields on flames, and the general features of the most important mechanisms involved have been revealed. The present study will investigate the interaction of axial and transverse fields of axial geometry with a flame of propane-butane, which is a typical organic fuel. Special attention will be given to the possibility of flame extinction. The laminar flame studied was formed at the mouth of a single-tube burner with an internal diameter of 10 mm.
