00762 IUPAC Gold Book - burning velocity 10.1351/goldbook.B00762 B00762 current 1 The mean velocity of the flame front (in \(\rm{mm s}^{-1}\)) towards the unburnt gas mixture (usually vertically downwards). The quantity applies to gas mixtures and not to injection burners, and depends on the flame temperature and the solvent nebulized. PAC, 1986, 58, 1737.
