Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected results from experiments conducted over the past several years involving simultaneous multiscalar point measurements in turbulent nonpremixed flames are reviewed in this paper. In these experiments, spontaneous Raman scattering and Rayleigh scattering measurements of the major species and temperature were combined with laser-induced fluorescence measurements of minor species. The most important feature of these experiments is that they provide detailed data on the instantaneous relationships among species concentration, temperature, and derived scalar quantities that reflect the state of mixing or the progress of reaction. The data allow quantitative comparisons of the thermochemical states in turbulent flames with those in idealized representations, such as steady strained laminar flames, perfectly stirred reactors, or adiabatic equilibrium. The data may also be compared with results (measured or calculated) from unsteady laminar flames and from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent reacting flows. such comparisons provide insights into the fundamental nature of turbulence-chemistry interactions, and they allow one to examine the validity of some of the basic assumptions that turbulent combustion models are built upon. Furthermore, these data allow quantitative evaluations of the predictive accuracy, strengths, and limitations of a wide variety of combustions models.

This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 914 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detailed coverage of advanced combustion topics from the author of Principles of combustion, Second Edition Turbulence, turbulent combustion, and multiphase reacting flows have become major research topics in recent decades due to their application across diverse fields, including energy, environment, propulsion, transportation, industrial safety, and nanotechnology. Most of the knowledge accumulated from this research has never been published in book form—until now. Fundamentals of Turbulent and Multiphase Combustion presents up-to-date, integrated coverage of the fundamentals of turbulence, combustion, and multiphase phenomena along with useful experimental techniques, including non-intrusive, laser-based measurement techniques, providing a firm background in both contemporary and classical approaches. Beginning with two full chapters on laminar premixed and non-premixed flames, this book takes a multiphase approach, beginning with more common topics and moving on to higher-level applications. In addition, Fundamentals of Turbulent and Multiphase Combustion: Addresses seven basic topical areas in combustion and multiphase flows, including laminar premixed and non-premixed flames, theory of turbulence, turbulent premixed and non-premixed flames, and multiphase flows Covers spray atomization and combustion, solid-propellant combustion, homogeneous propellants, nitramines, reacting boundary-layer flows, single energetic particle combustion, and granular bed combustion Provides experimental setups and results whenever appropriate Supported with a large number of examples and problems as well as a solutions manual, Fundamentals of Turbulent and Multiphase Combustion is an important resource for professional engineers and researchers as well as graduate students in mechanical, chemical, and aerospace engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To allow implementation of chemical kinetic schemes of arbitrary complexity in computational design codes for gas-turbine combustion, a new microstructural turbulent combustion model was developed. The fine structure of turbulent combustion was represented by PSR (Perfectly Stirred Reactor) theory. The theory is the intense-combustion analog of flamelet theory. Residence times in the PSR were related to the scalar dissipation, and turbulence-chemistry interactions were closed by using the probability distribution function for scalar dissipation in a turbulent flow. Calculations compared very favorably with Raman data on temperature and species from three turbulent bluff-body stabilized laboratory flames: (i) a non-premixed CO/H2/N2-air flame, (ii) a non-premixed CH4/H2-air flame, and (iii) a premixed CH4-air flame. With this success, the model was applied to two practical combustors: (iv) an axially-staged combustion system which produces about half the NOx of a conventional combustor while offering greater operability, and operates in an unusual regime of turbulence-chemistry interactions, and (v) a conventional aircraft engine combustor. In the latter case, a kinetic scheme with over 121 species and 996 elementary reactions was demonstrated. In both cases, the calculated results agreed well with temperature and species data. The physical model developed here was used directly in the industry-standard pressure-corrected mean Navier-Stokes/assumed-shape pdf/k-epsilon type of CFD code, which affords significant geometric flexibility and rapid convergence for gas-turbine combustor flowfields.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research is a quantitative understanding of turbulence-chemistry interactions as they pertain to combustion in aeropropulsion engines. The two principal classes of accomplishment are: (1) The first-ever stochastic joint velocity-composition pdf simulations of bluff-body stabilized flames, and comparison with Raman data on major species, temperature and mixture fraction (mean and rms quantities of each) in the same burner. Fuels have been CO/H2 mixtures (whose reduced chemistry is modeled with two compositional variables) and methane (five variables). This method of merging pdf transport and CFD codes can be used to combine the pdf model with any of the CFD codes used in design. There is thus a clear path for transitioning the results of the research. Remaining issues included (i) a chemistry scheme for jet fuels (not just CO/H2 and CH4), tested in turbulence and not only in the the laminar context. and (ii) more species and temperature data in the regime of high turbulence intensity, so that the model can be tested in the regime of real engines. (2) The "Partially Stirred Reactor" or PaSR model was developed toward the first two of these goals. The unsteady evolution of a full chemistry scheme is computed in the presence of turbulence of prescribed frequency. jg p.2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combustion of fossil fuels remains a key technology for the foreseeable future. It is therefore important that we understand the mechanisms of combustion and, in particular, the role of turbulence within this process. Combustion always takes place within a turbulent flow field for two reasons: turbulence increases the mixing process and enhances combustion, but at the same time combustion releases heat which generates flow instability through buoyancy, thus enhancing the transition to turbulence. The four chapters of this book present a thorough introduction to the field of turbulent combustion. After an overview of modeling approaches, the three remaining chapters consider the three distinct cases of premixed, non-premixed, and partially premixed combustion, respectively. This book will be of value to researchers and students of engineering and applied mathematics by demonstrating the current theories of turbulent combustion within a unified presentation of the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of an ongoing research program aimed at developing techniques capable of quantitative imaging of mixture fraction and scalar dissipation in turbulent flames, three-scalar measurements were made in a turbulent nonpremixed flame. The use of nitrogen Raman scattering to detect a passive conserved scalar made it possible to increase confidence in the two-scalar technique based on simultaneous imaging of Rayleigh scattering and fuel Raman scattering. These experiments showed that proper parameterization of mixture fraction-dependent terms appearing in the expression for mixture fraction can improve accuracy for lean values of mixture fraction as well as those near stoichiometric. Additionally, a new experimental technique was investigated which allows the extraction of velocity information from laser-based scalar imaging in turbulent flows. Preliminary results from simultaneous particle-imaging velocimetry (PIV) and optical flow velocimetry showed that this technique has potential for unseeded velocity measurements compatible with the mixture fraction imaging. The optical flow approach was based on extracting velocity vectors from the intensity variations naturally present in inhomogeneous turbulent flow images of a mixing-dependent scalar quantity.

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.

Book excerpt: Extensively using experimental and numerical illustrations, CombustionPhenomena: Selected Mechanisms of Flame Formation, Propagation, and Extinction provides a comprehensive survey of the fundamental processes of flame formation, propagation, and extinction. Taking you through the stages of combustion, leading experts visually display, mathematically explain, and clearly theorize on important physical topics of combustion. After a historical introduction to the field, they discuss combustion chemistry, flammability limits, and spark ignition. They also study counterflow twin-flame configuration, flame in a vortex core, the propagation characteristics of edge flames, instabilities, and tulip flames. In addition, the book describes flame extinction in narrow channels, global quenching of premixed flames by turbulence, counterflow premixed flame extinction limits, the interaction of flames with fluids in rotating vessels, and turbulent flames. The final chapter explores diffusion flames as well as combustion in spark- and compression-ignition engines. It also examines the transition from deflagration to detonation, along with the detonation wave structure. With downloadable resources of images that beautifully illustrate a range of combustion phenomena, this book facilitates a practical understanding of the processes occurring in the conception, spread, and extinguishment of a flame. It will help you on your way to finding solutions to real issues encountered in transportation, power generation, industrial processes, chemical engineering, and fire and explosion hazards.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence chemistry interactions have been studied experimentally and theoretically in the context of turbulent diffusion flames. The goal is a quantitative understanding of these interactions under a wide range of conditions. These range from low Reynolds number conditions ('weak' interactions, affecting primarily the levels of intermediate species, pollutants and combustion efficiency) to high Reynolds number conditions, where the flame can be extinguished by intense turbulent straining. Jet flames in coflowing air have been emphasized, with a coannular pilot burner used where necessary for stabilization at the burner lip. Fuels have consisted of carbon dioxide/H2 mixtures with the fraction of hydrogen successively reduced to promote extinction. Reynolds numbers have been increased to the point of blowoff. Major species and temperature have been measured by Raman scattering, and velocity and turbulence have been measured by laser velocimetry. These experiments have provided a comprehensive set of data on CO/H2 flames, extending to conditions conducive to localized extinction. The data show significant temperature decrements due to finite-rate chemistry but no evidence of localized extinction. Keywords: Turbulence, Chemistry interactions, Extinction, Turbulent diffusion flames, Superequilibrium, Laser diagnostics. (MJM).
