Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stabilization and Dynamic of Premixed Swirling Flames: Prevaporized, Stratified, Partially, and Fully Premixed Regimes focuses on swirling flames in various premixed modes (stratified, partially, fully, prevaporized) for the combustor, and development and design of current and future swirl-stabilized combustion systems. This includes predicting capabilities, modeling of turbulent combustion, liquid fuel modeling, and a complete overview of stabilization of these flames in aeroengines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of flame flashback were studied in a lean premixed swirl burner with central bluff-body. A range of conditions with varied flow velocities, inlet temperatures, and hydrogen/methane flow rates were investigated. Intermittent movement of the flame into the feed tube, was found over a range of conditions, with consistent trends as the system moved from stable operation to complete flashback. Statistical analysis of chemiluminescence data showed a strong link between characteristic behaviours of the system, such as the statistical frequency of upstream propagating flame protrusions, and the magnitude of the flashback, independent of the inlet conditions. Effects of conditions on the flashback magnitude and abruptness of transition are described. Existing metrics for predicting flashback were found to be inadequate for describing the observed dynamics. Laser diagnostics revealed only a slight statistical drop in axial flow velocity upstream of the flame, which appeared to strengthen as the flame moved upstream.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main topic of this thesis concerns the development and application of laser diagnostic techniques for accurate temperature measurements and for the determination of flamefront properties in premixed flames that can serve as input data for computational fluid dynamical (CFD) models in technical combustion. The work comprises of a number of related studies, to address problems of relevance in the field of combustion research. The first part of this work involves the development and testing of an improved method for the computation of flamefront curvature in lean premixed turbulent flames. Measurements of spatially resolved heat release rate along the flamefront were then compared with the curvature data and it could be shown that a significant correlation exists between local rate of heat release and flamefront curvature. The results here agree with predictions from CFD models and improve on previous experimental attempts to find a correlation between curvature and heat release. In the second part of this work, the focus was shifted towards the development and application of improved thermometry techniques. One study was on the improvement and application of a coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) setup to an acoustically-forced turbulent lean premixed flame stabilised on a burner, whose design was modelled to mimic phenomena of relevance in industrial combustors. In a related previous study reported in the literature two-line OH planar laser induced fluorescence had been applied to this flame and it was suspected that the results were inaccurate. Using CARS, these inaccuracies could be verified, amounting to discrepancies in temperature of up to 47% compared to the true temperatures. A major effort towards the end of this project was focused on the improvement of traditional thermometry techniques, in order to make them more accurate, faster, and spatially resolved. A technique based on indium two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) thermometry was developed and applied, which employed a novel extended cavity diode laser design, and it was shown for the first time that temperature measurements with high accuracy and precision could be performed in low pressure sooting flames without recourse to calibration. Both the high precision and accuracy of the technique allowed for the deduction that the temperature in the flames studied here is relatively insensitive to changes in pressure in stark contrast to the soot volume fraction. Finally, it is shown for the first time that low power diode lasers can be used in combination with indium TLAF to measure spatially and temporally highly resolved temperatures in a quasi-continuous fashion. We demonstrated such measurements at effective rates of 3.5 kHz in a steady laminar test flame yielding an unprecedented precision of 1.5 % at ~2000 K at this measurement rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work on turbulent premixed combustion is important because of increased concern about the environmental impact of combustion and the search for new combustion concepts and technologies. An improved understanding of lean fuel turbulent premixed flames must play a central role in the fundamental science of these new concepts. Lean premixed flames have the potential to offer ultra-low emission levels, but they are notoriously susceptible to combustion oscillations. Thus, sophisticated control measures are inevitably required. The editors' intent is to set out the modeling aspects in the field of turbulent premixed combustion. Good progress has been made on this topic, and this cohesive volume contains contributions from international experts on various subtopics of the lean premixed flame problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory experiments have been performed to evaluate the performance of a premixed low-swirl burner (LSB) in configurations that simulate commercial heating appliances. Laser diagnostics were used to investigate changes in flame stabilization mechanism, flowfield, and flame stability when the LSB flame was confined within quartz cylinders of various diameters and end constrictions. The LSB adapted well to enclosures without generating flame oscillations and the stabilization mechanism remained unchanged. The feasibility of using the LSB as a low NO(subscript x) commercial burner has also been verified in a laboratory test station that simulates the operation of a water heater. It was determined that the LSB can generate NO(subscript x) emissions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swirl flows are used in a wide range of industrial applications. In non-reacting cases, examples of applications include vortex amplifiers and reactors, heat exchangers, jet pumps, and cyclone separators. In reacting cases, swirlers are widely used in combustion systems, such as gas turbines, industrial furnaces, boilers, gasoline and diesel engines, and many other practical heating devices. Effects of using swirl on flow and combustion are significant and varied, and concern, for example, aerodynamics, mixing, flame stability, intensity of combustion, and pollutant emissions. The purpose of this book is to present recent research efforts to understand and characterize swirling flows of different types and in different applications. These include gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels in order to enhance combustion systems and their energy efficiency. Swirl flows are very complex and the studies proposed in this project are based on different means, including theoretical calculations, numerical modeling, and experimental measurements.

These application potentials of LIBS have really boosted in the last years ranging from bulk analysis of metallic alloys and non-conducting materials, via spatially resolved analysis and depth profiling covering measuring objects in all physical states: gaseous, liquid and solid. Dedicated chapters present LIBS investigations for these tasks with special emphasis on the methodical and instrumental concepts as well as the optimization strategies for a quantitative analysis. Requirements, concepts, design and characteristic features of LIBS instruments are described covering laboratory systems, inspections systems for in-line process control, mobile systems and remote systems. State-of-the-art industrial applications of LIBS systems are presented demonstrating the benefits of inline process control for improved process guiding and quality assurance purposes.
