However, the sample temperature of our system is greater than 1000°C while the dilution air is room temperature. This means that huge thermophoretic forces markedly enhance the mixing of an already well-mixed turbulent system. Consequently, complete mixing in sampling system is extremely rapid and can be assumed to occur on a submillisecond timescale. Therefore, the flame is quenched upon entering our sampling tube.
