Please cite this article in press as: L. Qiao, Com A detailed numerical study was conducted to understand the transient flame propagation process and the flame-speed oscillation phenomenon in a carbon dust cloud. The modeling included the solution of a set of time-dependent conservation equations developed for the gas phase and the particle phase in a spherical coordinate. The gas-phase reactio...

We introduce a novel approach for flame volume reconstruction from videos using inexpensive charge-coupled device (CCD) consumer cameras. The approach includes an economical data capture technique using inexpensive CCD cameras. Leveraging the smear feature of the CCD chip, we present a technique for synchronizing CCD cameras while capturing flame videos from different views. Our reconstruction ...

The aim of this research is to investigate the effects a direct current (DC) electric field on combustion behavior co-flow propane diffusion flame. flame length and NOx emission were observed measured. enhances process by causing movement ions molecules in flame, resulting change shape heights decrease with an increase applied voltage polarity, more dominant effect be positive DC field. However...

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...

• To develop a prototype optical instrumentation system capable of measuring the distributions and fluctuations of temperature and soot concentration of pulverised coal flames. • To evaluate the performance of the system on a 0.5MWth combustion test facility at Innogy plc over a range of combustion conditions. • To establish quantitative relationships between the flame temperature and soot conc...

The characteristics of the combustion temperature, flow velocity, CO distribution and NOx emissions of a 10 MW gas burner at different primary to secondary air ratios are numerically studied using computational fluid dynamics software Fluent. The results indicate that the primary to secondary air ratio in gas burner determines the combustion quality through influencing some parameters directly,...

Steady-state concentrations of electronically excited CH(AD) and OH(A¥) are extracted from previous quantitative measurements of optical emission from an axisymmetric laminar diffusion flame [K. T. Walsh, M. B. Long, M. A. Tanoff, and M. D. Smooke, Twenty-Seventh Symposium (International) on Combustion, The Combustion Institute, Pittsburgh, 1998, pp. 615–623]. The flame is modeled with a two-di...
