To better understand the combustion chemistry of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) which has been considered as promising bio-fuel, the structure of their stoichiometric (φ=1.0) low-pressure laminar premixed flame has been investigated. The flames have been stabilized on a burner at a pressure of 50 Torr (6.7 kPa) using argon as dilutant (78 %), with a gas velocity at the...

A numerical investigation of high pressure, counterflow methane-air partially premixed flames (PPFs) is presented to characterize the effect of pressure on flame structure. Four different mechanisms, namely GRI-2.11, GRI-3.0, the San Diego, and the C2 mechanisms have been examined. The mechanisms have been validated by comparing the predicted laminar flame speeds with experimental data. While t...

Development of a premixed flame theory that includes the effects stretch and curvature has been at forefront combustion research. Diffusion dominated flames such as highly curved balls present challenging structure not included in current so far. In flames, relationship between consumption speed negative displacement usually marks boundary what can predict. this work, our objective is to derive...

|The construction of a ame dictionary of ame speeds and preheat thicknesses for a given reaction will be discussed. Once the entries of the dictionary have been established, they can be accessed by researchers and programmers to be used in diierent combustion applications. An application of the ame dictionary for turbulent combustion in a circular cylinder is given. Chemical reactions are often...
