Flame Stability and Structure of Liquefied Petroleum Gas-Fired Inverse Diffusion Flame with Hydrogen Enrichment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present project was conducted with the circumferential-fuel-jets inverse diffusion flame (CIDF) burner burning liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) enriched with 50% of hydrogen fuel (H2). The range of stable operation of the CIDF burner in terms of Reynolds number (from laminar to turbulent flow regions), equivalence ratio and fuel jet velocity of LPG of the 50% H2-LPG mixed fuel was identified. Experiments were also carried out to investigate the flame structures of the LPG flame and LPG enriched H2 flame. Experimental results obtained from these two flames were compared to fully explore the influence of hydrogen addition on flame stability. Flame heights obtained by burning these two kinds of fuels at various equivalence ratios were compared and correlated with the Global Momentum Ratio (GMR). Keywords—Flame stability, hydrogen enriched LPG, inverse diffusion flame.

Effects of H2 enrichment on the propagation characteristics of CH4–air triple flames
The effects of H2 enrichment on the propagation of laminar CH4–air triple flames in axisymmetric coflowing jets are numerically investigated. A comprehensive, time-dependent computational model, which employs a detailed description of chemistry and transport, is used to simulate the transient ignition and flame propagation phenomena. Flames are ignited in a jet-mixing layer far downstream of th...

A comparison of four selective detectors for analysis of single-digit ppb level sulfur is described. A dynamic blending system is used for point of use preparation of low level gaseous mixtures of eight sulfur compounds including H 2 S, COS, CS 2 and selected mercaptans in helium, ethylene, propylene, and carbon dioxide. The criteria to consider for selecting the best detector for an applicatio...

متن کاملSoot inception limits in laminar diffusion flames with application to oxy–fuel combustion
For diffusion flames, the combination of oxygen enrichment and fuel dilution results in an increase in the stoichiometric mixture fraction, Zst, and alters the flame structure, i.e., the relationship between the local temperature and the local gas composition. Increasing Zst has been shown to result in the reduction or even elimination of soot. In the present work, the effects of variable Zst o...
