Combustion enhancement and inhibition of hydrogen-doped methane flame by HFC-227ea

Hydrogen enriched with compressed natural gas is an efficient and environment-friendly gaseous fuel. However, the safety issues of mixture and the method to control or weaken their combustion are highly concerned. To explore the inhibition effect of halogenated fire suppressants on the mixture, the effect of HFC-227ea on the laminar premixed methane/air flames, with different fractions of H₂, have been studied. Burning velocities have been measured with constant-volume combustion chamber and kinetically modelled a recently assembled kinetic mechanism. The fractions of H₂ influence the enhancement and inhibition effect of HFC-227ea, and it is less effective with the lean mixture. In stoichiometric condition, HFC-227ea showed good inhibition effect on the mixture flames. The HFC-227ea increased the burning velocities of CH₄-0% H₂-air and CH₄-10% H₂-air flames at leanest condition, whereas the increased burning velocity arising from HFC-227ea not occurred as the addition of H₂ above 20%. Experimental results coincided well with numerical results, however the agreement was poor for the leanest flames at low agent loading. Lastly, kinetic mechanism analysis was used to interpret the combustion enhancement and inhibition effect of hydrogen-doped methane flame by HFC-227ea.     

Turbulent burning velocity of hydrogen–air premixed propagating flames at elevated pressures

Lewis number represents the thermo-diffusive effects on laminar flames. That of hydrogen–air mixture varies extensively with the equivalence ratio due to the high molecular diffusivity of hydrogen. In this study, the influences of pressure and thermo-diffusive effects on spherically propagating premixed hydrogen–air turbulent flames were studied using a constant volume fan-stirred combustion vessel. It was noted that the ratio of the turbulent to unstretched laminar burning velocity increased with decreasing equivalence ratio and increasing mixture pressure. Turbulent burning velocity was dominated by three factors: (1) purely hydrodynamic factor, turbulence Reynolds number, (2) relative turbulence intensity to reaction speed, the ratio of turbulence intensity to unstretched laminar burning velocity, and (3) sensitivity of the flame to the stretch due to the thermo-diffusive effects, Lewis and Markstein numbers. A turbulent burning velocity correlation in terms of Reynolds and Lewis numbers is presented.     

Transport phenomena within the liquid phase of a laboratory-scale circular methanol pool fire

The effects of altering the lower thermal boundary condition of a methanol pool from −5 °C to 50 °C was investigated within a 90 mm diameter and 12 mm deep quartz burner under steady state burning condition in a quiescent air environment. Both the burning rate and the flame height were observed to increase by 15% with increasing bottom temperature over this range of bottom boundary conditions. The temperature and velocity within the liquid were measured by a single thermocouple traversed through the pool and PIV, respectively, in order to better understand the transport of mass and energy in the liquid. Temperature measurements revealed a distinct two-layer vertical thermal structure with the upper layer of the pool being almost uniform and near the boiling temperature of the fuel, while the lower layer experienced an increasing temperature gradient as the bottom boundary temperature was lowered. The thickness of the thermally uniform layer increased as the bottom temperature was increased. The measured fluid velocity showed a complementary two-layer structure with the upper layer being dominated by a pair of counter-rotating vortices that kept this portion of the liquid well mixed and transferred heat from the hot pool wall to the pool center, while the flow in the lower layer was uniformly low in value and vertical. A model was presented to aid in understanding the energy transfer within the liquid phase. In the lower layer, the Peclet Number was in the order of unity and required that the energy transfer throughout the liquid phase to be modeled as a combination of conduction and convection. Using this physical model, the change in burning rate over the full 55 °C change in bottom temperature was predicted within 2%, thereby supporting the proposed mechanism for energy transfer into the pool’s depth.     

Suppression of hydrogen/oxygen/nitrogen explosions by fine water mist containing sodium hydroxide additive

Complementary sets of experiments, consisting of burning velocity measurements and vented explosion tests, have been undertaken for a wide range of hydrogen–oxygen–air test compositions using fine water mist with NaOH additive (SMD ∼ 4 μm). In contrast to pure water mists, burning velocity measurements identified a critical mist concentration (for a given gas composition) above which a sudden large decrease in burning velocity is observed. The critical concentration was also found to correspond to an inerting concentration during vented explosion testing. Prior to reaching the critical concentration, the NaOH additive had a negligible effect on both the burning velocity measurements and explosion tests. This clearly indicates that the NaOH additive is acting as a chemical inhibitor. The inhibiting effect is generally considered to occur due to homogeneous gas phase mechanisms and it is thought likely that only the fraction of the entire mist (with droplet diameter < 2.5 μm) would evaporate sufficiently quickly to allow vaporised NaOH to take part in the inhibition. The experimental data obtained have enabled the construction of an inerting map to facilitate the design of a practical mist inerting system.     

The effects of heat loss on the burning velocity of cellular premixed flames generated by hydrodynamic and diffusive-thermal instabilities

The effects of heat loss on the burning velocity of cellular premixed flames are investigated by two-dimensional unsteady calculations of reactive flows based on the compressible Navier-Stokes equation and on the diffusive-thermal model equation. Hydrodynamic and diffusive-thermal instabilities are taken into account as contributing to the intrinsic instability of premixed flames. A sufficiently small disturbance is superimposed on a planar flame to obtain the relation between the growth rate and the wavenumber, i.e., the dispersion relation. As the heat loss becomes larger, the growth rate decreases and the unstable range narrows. This is because hydrodynamic instability caused by thermal expansion weakens for nonadiabatic flames. To investigate the characteristics of cellular flames, the disturbance with the linearly most unstable wavenumber, i.e., the critical wavenumber, is superimposed. As the superimposed disturbance evolves, the cellular-flame front forms due to the intrinsic instability. The lateral movement of cellular flames is observed at low Lewis numbers, and the behavior of cellular-flame fronts becomes more unstable for nonadiabatic flames. As the heat-loss parameter increases, the burning velocity of a cellular flame normalized by that of a planar flame increases at Lewis numbers lower than unity. By contrast, when the Lewis number is not less than unity, the burning-velocity increment decreases by increasing the heat loss. Diffusive-thermal instability thus has a pronounced influence on the unstable behavior and burning velocity of nonadiabatic cellular flames.     

Burning velocities and kinetics of H2/NF3/N2, CH4/NF3/N2, and C3H8/NF3/N2 flames

The combustion characteristics and reaction mechanism of mixtures containing nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) were investigated. Burning velocities for H₂/NF₃/N₂, CH₄/NF₃/N₂, and C₃H₈/NF₃/N₂ flames were determined for the first time at various equivalence ratios and N₂ mole fractions. The burning velocities of the latter two flames were similar and showed peaks at equivalence ratios of ∼1.0, while those of the H₂/NF₃/N₂ flames had the pronounced peak at low equivalence ratios where the formation of the wrinkled flames was observed. A detailed kinetic model was constructed to simulate the laminar burning velocities of H₂/NF₃/N₂ and CH₄/NF₃/N₂ flames. The model accurately reproduced the experimental results. Analyses of the reaction mechanism revealed the major reaction pathways that involve the decomposition of NF₃, the oxidation and chain-fluoridation of H₂ and CH₄, and the formation of N₂.     

Laminar burning velocities of rich near-limiting flames of hydrogen

In the present work, near-limiting hydrogen flames were investigated both experimentally and numerically. Very rich hydrogen + air flames were studied in a constant volume bomb equipped with a pressure sensor and a Schlieren system for optical registration of the flame front movement. The mixtures contained 70% and 75% of hydrogen, the rest being air. The measurements were conducted at pressures from 1 to 4 atm for 70% H₂ + air mixture and from 0.7 to 1.4 atm for 75% H₂ + air mixture. Two methods for determination of the laminar burning velocity were used: from the temporal evolution of the flame front movement and from the pressure records at nearly constant pressure. These methods were compared and discussed in terms of accuracy and implicit assumptions behind them. Markstein lengths were also extracted and compared with the literature by using different extrapolation models. An important role of the critical radius for extraction of the burning velocity and Markstein length is demonstrated. New experimental data are compared with three models for hydrogen combustion to elucidate the need for their further development.
