Fluids Eng. 2013;136(2): doi: / Photo of 40k Btu/h pancake burner in water heater. The burner is 120 mm diameter and 55 mm overall height. This study focuses on the turbulent jet created by the fuel nozzle that entrains primary air before the mixture enters the bottom of the pancake. Figure Legend:

The nozzle is cost effective to manufacture, but it is not similar to common nozzles used in the study of free jets, namely straight pipe, sharp orifice, or smoothly contracting nozzles.

Fluids Eng. 2013;136(2): doi: / Relative Sum Squared Difference of scaled, average, radial concentration, and velocity profiles. The profile at each axial location is normalized by its centerline value and half-width. The SSD is calculated relative to the profiles at about 9 orifice diameters downstream (where SSD is zero). When the SSD for a property approaches a fairly constant, low value, that property of the jet has become self-similar. The data from the self-similar region can then be fit to Eqs. (2) and (3).
