in the present study the adiabatic temperature of gaseous fuels were calculated and the influence of effective parameters of flame temperature was discussed. firstly, a new computational program named ftc (flame temperature calculations) was prepared to calculate the adiabatic flame temperature and then the effect of initial temperatures of combustion air and fuel, excess air content and oxygen...

For the case of flame thickness being of the order of the pore linear dimension, the flame structure and speed in adiabatic, premixed methane-air combustion in porous media are examined. The local, volume-averaged conservation equations that assume a local thermal equilibrium between the solid and the gas phases (i.e. the single-medium treatment) or allow for a thermal nonequilibrium (i.e. the ...

Propane combustion in a trapped vortex combustor (TVC) is characterized via large eddy simulation coupled with filtered mass density function. A computational algorithm based on high order finite difference (FD) schemes, is employed to solve the Eulerian filtered compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast, a Lagrangian Monte-Carlo solver based on the filtered mass density function is inv...

The unresolved Q-branch profiles in the Raman spectra of' nitrogen in premixed, laminar, methane-air, propane-air and butane-air flames with lean to stoichiometric fuel-air equivalence ratios have been recorded experimentally and used to determine flame temperature s with a precision of about 10f0using an iterative computer program which fitted calculated nitrogen spectra to the experimentally ...

In this paper combined Brayton–Rankine cycle was mathematically simulated. In the Matlab program package an adequate numerical procedure has been developed to determine the maximum thermal efficiency of the combined cycle limited by the temperature of exhaust gases at the entrance of the gas turbine and the temperature of the condensation of water vapour in the steam condenser. Furthermore, add...

in recent years several studies have been done in the field of laminar flame speed. one of the important characteristics of the combustion is the laminar flame speed. in this study, the effects of co2 and n2 on the laminar flame speed of natural gas and gasoline fuel mixture have been investigated. schlieren method has been used in this study. experiments were carried out at pressure of 1 bar a...

in this study, the effect of the levels of hydrogen addition to methane-air premixed flame in a micro-stepped reactor has been studied numerically. in addition, the effects of mixture velocity and walls’ thermal conductivity (kw) on the flame’s location, temperature, and species distribution in a micro reactor were calculated using a 2d numerical laminar steady code. the results showed that an ...
