Download or read book Investigation of the Combustion Characteristics of Fuel Droplet Arrays Final Technical Report written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The program was directed at establishing the nature and extent of droplet/droplet interaction and the multicomponent nature of real fuels on the ignition and combustion characteristics of spray flames. A unique free-droplet combustion experiment provided the present investigation with a well-controlled simulation of spray combustion. Various theoretical models were used. Experimental observations indicate that ignition delay times increase sharply by about three-fold when droplet spacings are reduced to less than five droplet diameters. Results of theoretical predictions indicate that as droplet spacing is made smaller, the effect of droplet/droplet interaction on ignition delay becomes increasingly more pronounced for small droplets, low gas phase temperatures, and fuels of low volatility. Although this result suggests that ignition of heavy grades of alternative liquid fuels will be inhibited in dense sprays, other theoretical and experimental results indicate that the addition of a small quantity of a volatile component to a heavy fuel shortens ignition times substantially. Observed burning times show a gradual, but substantial, increase as a result of droplet/droplet interaction; as droplet spacing is decreased from 40 to 5 diameters, burning times increase by about 60%. A compilation of data for an extensive range of experimental parameters show universally that the amount by which droplet/droplet interaction increases burning times depends only on droplet spacing and not on the fuel type or the ambient conditions. Burning times of multicomponent fuel droplets are found to be weighted heavily toward the burning time for the least volatile component. Theoretical predictions demonstrate that this independence of burning times on the initial fuel mixture proportions can be ascribed to liquid phase mass diffusion limitations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid fuels are desirable in aerospace applications due to their higher energy density when compared to gaseous fuels. With the advent of detonation-based engines, it is necessary to characterize and analyze how liquid fuel interacts with detonation waves as well as shocks to ignite. While liquid fuel sprays have been proven to successfully aid and sustain detonations, the physical mechanism by which the individual liquid droplets accomplish this is yet to be understood. Such knowledge allows for more predictable detonation properties, which in turn can let detonation-based engines be sustained more easily. This research seeks to quantify and characterize interactions of liquid fuels with detonations and shocks, analyzing the breakup mechanism as well as the ignition of select fuels. Such effects will be characterized for several different mixture compositions as well as shock and detonation speeds. Primary analysis techniques include shadowgraph, Schlieren, and chemiluminescence imaging. Data on pressure will also be taken with pressure transducers to confirm shock and detonation properties. This research will further the progress of liquid fuel detonation-based engines by enabling more predictable and sustainable detonations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dust Explosion Dynamics focuses on the combustion science that governs the behavior of the three primary hazards of combustible dust: dust explosions, flash fires, and smoldering. It explores the use of fundamental principles to evaluate the magnitude of combustible dust hazards in a variety of settings. Models are developed to describe dust combustion phenomena using the principles of thermodynamics, transport phenomena, and chemical kinetics. Simple, tractable models are described first and compared with experimental data, followed by more sophisticated models to help with future challenges. Dr. Ogle introduces the reader to just enough combustion science so that they may read, interpret, and use the scientific literature published on combustible dusts. This introductory text is intended to be a practical guide to the application of combustible dust models, suitable for both students and experienced engineers. It will help you to describe the dynamics of explosions and fires involving dust and evaluate their consequences which in turn will help you prevent damage to property, injury and loss of life from combustible dust accidents. Demonstrates how the fundamental principles of combustion science can be applied to understand the ignition, propagation, and extinction of dust explosions Explores fundamental concepts through model-building and comparisons with empirical data Provides detailed examples to give a thorough insight into the hazards of combustible dust as well as an introduction to relevant scientific literature
