A diffusion flame at low strain rate is stronger than a weak flame at high strain rate and produces more carbon sources because of the longer residence time of the flow. The discovery of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) led to an explosion of research into the physical and chemical properties of CNTs all over the world. Methane (CH 4), propane (C3H8) and acetylene (C2H 2) were used as the carbon source. The production of CNTs also can be realized by diffusion flame synthesis, Distinctive carbon nanostructures were produced depending on the fuel type and fuel flow rate.
