Abstract: Regularities in the mutual variation of the velocity of propagation and electrical conductivity of a flame are investigated experimentally for turbulent combustion in a closed volume. An estimate proposed as a result of analysis of experimental data describes analytically the dependence of the velocity of propagation of the flame on the signal amplitude at ionization probes. In our opinion, the singularity observed on the approximate curve describing the dependence of the flame propagation velocity on the signal amplitude at ionization probes is responsible for the competition between generation and destruction of charged particles in the flame and corresponds to the conditions of quasi-stationary concentrations. The proposed method and established experimental facts can be used in the development of methods for diagnosing local intensity of burning in combustion chambers.
