ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of analyzing a burner flame comprises accumulating raw data such as radiate energy from the burner flame. A power spectrum and mutual information curve are generated from the raw data. A multi-dimensional attractor is also generated using the raw data which is analyzed in comparison to random data to determine whether the raw data is chaotic in nature. If the raw data is chaotic in nature, a Lyapunov exponent, Kolmogorov entropy or cross section of a chaotic attractor can be utilized as a measure of the quality of the flame and further used to control one or more parameters of the burner to adjust the flame.
