The cyclic voltammogram is characterized by several important parameters. Four of these observables, the two peak currents and two peak potentials, provide the basis for the diagnostics developed by Nicholson and Shain (1) for analyzing the cyclic voltammetric response. 

It is presumed that the global-quenching criteria of premixed flames can be characterized by turbulent shaining (effect of Ka), equivalence ratio (effect of 4>), and heat-loss effects. Based on these aforemenhoned data, it is obvious that the lean methane flames (Le < 1) are much more difficult to be quenched globally by turbulence than the rich methane flames (Le > 1). This may be explained by the premixed flame shucture proposed by Peters [13], for which the premixed flame consisted of a chemically inert preheat zone, a chemically reacting inner layer, and an oxidation layer. Rich methane flames have only the inert preheat layer and the inner layer without the oxidation layers, while the lean methane flames have all the three layers. Since the behavior of the inner layer is responsible for the fuel consumption that...

A closer scrutiny of Figure 6 reveals the persistence of small, but consistent curvature in all of the plots. In order to verify the curvature, the transfer coefficient 8 was also determined independently from the width of the CV wave, as described by Nicholson and Shain (10). The potential dependence of 8 obtained in this manner is shown in Figure 7. The slopes 88/3E represent the unmistakable presence of curvature in Figure 6.
