We found that the burning velocity in premixed burner flame was enhanced by heated electrons in the flame. The electron heating was realized by irradiating microwave power onto the flame, and was confirmed by observing optical emission intensity of molecular nitrogen at the second positive system. Since the increase in the observed gas temperature was negligible, the enhancement of the burning velocity can be attributed to the nonequilibrium combustion chemistry which is driven by energetic electrons. We examined the time constants for the transition between equilibrium and nonequilibrium combustion states by irradiating pulsed microwave power. As a result, we found > 2 x 10(4) s(-1) for the frequency of electron heating, similar to 1 x 10(3) s(-1) for the loss frequency of heated electrons, and similar to(0.5-1) x 10(3) s(-1) for the loss frequencies of OH and CH radicals.
