An experimental investigation of a premixed kerosene/O{sub}2/N{sub}2 flame at various stoichiometries has been undertaken to provide a wider database for validation purposes. A premix burner has been designed to burn the multi-component fuel at atmospheric pressure. Particular emphasis is placed on the measurement of intermediate species using non-intrusive techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence for the measurement of OH concentrations. In addition to this, conventional gas analysis techniques were employed in providing concentration profiles of O{sub}2, CO{sub}2, and CO. Gas samples were withdrawn along the central axis of the flame with a quartz microprobe before being passed through a system of gas analysers. Temperature profiles were obtained using a Pt/Pt-13% Rh thermocouple.
