The ignition characteristics of repetitive electric sparks into a quiescent acetylene-air premixture and LPG-argon-air premixture was investigated by using a home-made Repetitive-Spark-Generator(RSG) to elucidate the effect of fuel burning velocity to ignition ability of RSG. Results show that the optimum spark delay time interval is strongly related with fuel burning velocity, or implicitly with characteristic reaction time scale of each fuel.
