Abstract: | Hydrogen, as the promising clean alternative energy in the future, is in the spotlight now all over the world. However, its flammable and explosive hazards should be highly considered during its practical application. In this study, the experiments are performed to study premixed hydrogen-air flame propagation in the duct with pellets bed, especially for fuel-rich condition. High-speed schlieren photography is employed to capture flame front development during the experiments. As well as the pressure transducer, is used to track the pressure buildup in the flame propagation process. Different diameters of pellets and different concentrations of gas mixture are considered in this experimental study. The typical evolutions about the tulip flame are similar in all cases, although the tulip flame formation time caused by the laminar flame speed are different. The flame propagation velocity is pretty enhanced in fuel-lean mixture under the effect of large diameter pellets bed, but it is significantly suppressed in fuel-rich conditions. While for the small diameter pellets (d = 3 mm), the suppression effect on flame propagation and pressure is obtained over a wider range of equivalence ratios, especially a better suppression effect is generated near the stoichiometric condition. |
