Abstract - Flame stabilization is a critical aspect of combustion systems, as it directly impacts efficiency, stability, and emissions. This study presents an innovative flame stabilization technique using a conical flame holder. The conical geometry creates a region of low velocity and high turbulence, enabling the flame to anchor and stabilize. An experimental investigation was conducted using a laboratory-scale combustion rig, and the results were validated using numerical simulations. The effects of cone angle, flame holder location, and inlet velocity on flame stability were systematically examined. The results show that the conical flame holder significantly enhances flame stability, reduces emissions, and improves combustion efficiency. The optimized design parameters and operating conditions were identified, providing valuable insights for the development of efficient and stable combustion systems. This technique has potential applications in various industrial sectors, including power generation, aerospace, and chemical processing.
