Book excerpt: This paper summarizes the characteristics of aluminum combustion, focusing on the burning time of individual particles. The fundamental concepts that control aluminum combustion are discussed, starting with the D(exp n) law. Combustion data from over 10 different sources with almost 400 datum points were cataloged and correlated. Available models also were used to evaluate combustion trends with key environmental parameters. The exponent is shown to be less than two, with nominal values of ^1.5 to 1.8 being typical. The effect of oxidizer is pronounced with oxygen being twice as effective as water and about five times more effective than carbon dioxide. The observed effect of pressure and initial temperature is minimal. In the second part of the paper, a 2D, unsteady state, kinetic-diffusion-vaporization controlled numerical model for aluminum particle combustion is presented. The model solves the conservation equations while accounting for species generation and destruction with a 15 reaction kinetic mechanism. Two of the major phenomena that differentiate aluminum combustion from hydrocarbon droplet combustion, namely the condensation of the aluminum oxide product and the subsequent deposition of part of the condensed oxide, are accounted for in detail with a sub-model for each phenomenon. The effect of the oxide cap in the distortion of the profiles around the particle has been included in the model. The results obtained from the model, which include 2D species and temperature profiles, are analyzed and compared with experimental data. The combustion process is found to approach a diffusion controlled process for the oxidizers and conditions treated. The flame zone location and thickness are found to vary with oxidizer. The results show that the exponent of the particle diameter dependence of burning time is not a constant and changes from about 1.2 for larger diameter particles to 1.9 for smaller diameter particles.

Download or read book Combustion written by Irvin Glassman and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its previous four editions, Combustion has made a very complex subject both enjoyable and understandable to its student readers and a pleasure for instructors to teach. With its clearly articulated physical and chemical processes of flame combustion and smooth, logical transitions to engineering applications, this new edition continues that tradition. Greatly expanded end-of-chapter problem sets and new areas of combustion engineering applications make it even easier for students to grasp the significance of combustion to a wide range of engineering practice, from transportation to energy generation to environmental impacts. Combustion engineering is the study of rapid energy and mass transfer usually through the common physical phenomena of flame oxidation. It covers the physics and chemistry of this process and the engineering applications—including power generation in internal combustion automobile engines and gas turbine engines. Renewed concerns about energy efficiency and fuel costs, along with continued concerns over toxic and particulate emissions, make this a crucial area of engineering. - New chapter on new combustion concepts and technologies, including discussion on nanotechnology as related to combustion, as well as microgravity combustion, microcombustion, and catalytic combustion—all interrelated and discussed by considering scaling issues (e.g., length and time scales) - New information on sensitivity analysis of reaction mechanisms and generation and application of reduced mechanisms - Expanded coverage of turbulent reactive flows to better illustrate real-world applications - Important new sections on stabilization of diffusion flames—for the first time, the concept of triple flames will be introduced and discussed in the context of diffusion flame stabilization
