1. A combustion system, comprising:
a fuel distributor configured to output a fuel;
an oxidant source configured to output an oxidant;
a mixing tube defining a mixing volume aligned to receive the fuel and the oxidant, the mixing tube being shaped to convey the fuel and the oxidant through the mixing volume at a bulk velocity higher than a flame propagation speed, the mixing tube further being sized for a residence time shorter than a chemical ignition delay time of the fuel and the oxidant traversing the mixing volume; and
a perforated flame holder aligned to receive a mixture of the fuel and the oxidant from the mixing tube, the flame holder being configured to support a combustion reaction of the mixture of the fuel and the oxidant within or adjacent to the flame holder.
