On the Distribution of Lewis and Schmidt Numbers in Turbulent Flames
نویسنده
چکیده
Gaseous combustion is governed by a set of transport equations expressing the conservation of mass, momentum and energy, and by a thermodynamic equation of state describing the gas behaviour. The derivation of these conservation equations from mass, species and energy balances may be found in standard books [1–3]. Among these equations there is the transport equation of chemical species that in terms of mass fractions Yi is

Characterization of Low Lewis Number Flames
A recent numerical study of turbulence-flame interactions in lean premixed hydrogen, where the Lewis number was approximately 0.36, observed that flames at different equivalence ratios presented significantly different behavior despite having the same Karlovitz and Damköhler numbers. This differing behavior is due to the thermodiffusively-unstable nature of low Lewis number flames. In more than...
متن کاملOn the Dependence of Soot Formation and Combustion on Swirling Combustion Furnaces: Measurement and Simulation
Soot concentration distribution is investigated both numerically and experimentally in methane-air diffusion flame. The experimental work is conducted with a cylindrical swirl stabilized combustor. Filter paper technique is used to measure soot volume fraction inside the combustor. The numerical simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for swirling turbule...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Turbulent Mass Transfer in a 90° Bend
This paper presents a numerical study of local mass transfer coefficients in a 90° bend using the RNG version of k–e model to include the influence of curvature on the turbulent transport. Simulations were performed for flow through a 90°, 3-D bend for Reynolds numbers of 13500, 90000, and 390000, Schmidt numbers of 2.53 and 700 and curvature ratios of 1.5, 2, and 2.5. The differences betwe...
متن کاملStudies on Soot Formation and Combustion in Turbulent Spray Flames: Modeling and Experimental Measurement
The present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. Soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. The simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of Lewis number effects on lean premixed turbulent flames
A dominant factor in determining the burning rate of a premixed turbulent flame is the degree to which the flame front is wrinkled by turbulence. Higher turbulent intensities lead to greater wrinkling of the flame front and an increase in the turbulent burning rate. This picture of turbulent flame dynamics must be modified, however, to accommodate the affects of variations in the local propagat...
