Book Temperature  Oxygen  and Soot Volume Fraction Measurements in a Turbulent C2H4 Fueled Jet Flame

Download or read book Temperature Oxygen and Soot Volume Fraction Measurements in a Turbulent C2H4 Fueled Jet Flame written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a detailed set of measurements from a piloted, sooting, turbulent C 2 H 4 - fueled diffusion flame. Hybrid femtosecond/picosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is used to monitor temperature and oxygen, while laser-induced incandescence (LII) is applied for imaging of the soot volume fraction in the challenging jet-flame environment at Reynolds number, Re = 20,000. Single-laser shot results are used to map the mean and rms statistics, as well as probability densities. LII data from the soot-growth region of the flame are used to benchmark the soot source term for one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) modeling of this turbulent flame. The ODT code is then used to predict temperature and oxygen fluctuations higher in the soot oxidation region higher in the flame.

Book Soot Formation In Turbulent Combusting Flows

Book excerpt: Studies of soot formation in turbulent jet flames burning ethylene in air were studied for Reynolds numbers ranging from 4,000 to 23,000. Laser-based techniques were used to measure the soot volume fraction, particle size and number density as well as the temperature and relative concentration of hydroxyl radicals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Measurements of the characteristics length scales for the soot and hydroxyl radical fields throughout the turbulent flames were obtained. The maximum soot eddy size was observed to be 7 mm or about three times the size of the diameter of the fuel jet (d= 2.18 mm). The soot eddy size increased linearly along the centerline of the turbulent flame until the mid-point, where it leveled off and finally decreased in the oxidation zone. In contrast, the hydroxyl radical eddy size always increased along the flame with a maximum eddy size of 12 mm for the higher Reynolds number flames. Analysis of the radial dependence of the eddy size was also determined. Relatively little radial dependence in the eddy size was observed for the soot particles indicating that the soot eddies moved off the axis very fast as compared to the mixing rate. However for the hydroxyl radicals, the eddy size was always larger off the axis of the flame except near the flame tip. With respect to the temperature field, temperature probability density functions indicated bimodality at all axially locations. With respect to soot formation, the highest soot formation location and the peak mean temperature were observed on the fuel-rich side of the stoichiometric flame location while the peak hydroxyl radical concentration was on the fuel-lean side.

Book Modeling and Simulation of Turbulent Combustion

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Turbulent Combustion written by Santanu De and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 663 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art models for turbulent combustion, with special emphasis on the theory, development and applications of combustion models in practical combustion systems. It simplifies the complex multi-scale and nonlinear interaction between chemistry and turbulence to allow a broader audience to understand the modeling and numerical simulations of turbulent combustion, which remains at the forefront of research due to its industrial relevance. Further, the book provides a holistic view by covering a diverse range of basic and advanced topics—from the fundamentals of turbulence–chemistry interactions, role of high-performance computing in combustion simulations, and optimization and reduction techniques for chemical kinetics, to state-of-the-art modeling strategies for turbulent premixed and nonpremixed combustion and their applications in engineering contexts.

Book Measurements of Soot Formation and Hydroxyl Concentration in Near Critical Equivalence Ratio Premixed Ethylene Flame

Download or read book Measurements of Soot Formation and Hydroxyl Concentration in Near Critical Equivalence Ratio Premixed Ethylene Flame written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The testing and development of existing global and detailed chemical kinetic models for soot formation requires measurements of soot and radical concentrations in flames. A clearer understanding of soot particle inception relies upon the evaluation and refinement of these models in comparison with such measurements. We present measurements of soot formation and hydroxyl (OH) concentration in sequences of flat premixed atmospheric-pressure C2H4/O2/N2 flames and 80-torr C2H4/O2 flames for a unique range of equivalence ratios bracketting the critical equivalence ratio (phi(sub c)) and extending to more heavily sooting conditions. Soot volume fraction and number density profiles are measured using a laser scattering-extinction apparatus capable of resolving a 0.1 percent absorption. Hydroxyl number density profiles are measured using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with broadband detection. Temperature profiles are obtained from Rayleigh scattering measurements. The relative volume fraction and number density profiles of the richer sooting flames exhibit the expected trends in soot formation. In near-phi(sub c) visibility sooting flames, particle scattering and extinction are not detected, but an LIF signal due to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) can be detected upon excitation with an argon-ion laser. A linear correlation between the argon-ion LIF and the soot volume fraction implies a common mechanistic source for the growth of PAH's and soot particles. The peak OH number density in both the atmospheric and 80-torr flames declines with increasing equivalence ratio, but the profile shape remains unchanged in the transition to sooting, implying that the primary reaction pathways for OH remain unchanged over this transition. Chemical kinetic modeling is demonstrated by comparing predictions using two current reaction mechanisms with the atmospheric flame data. The measured and predicted OH number density profiles show good agreement. The predicted benzene number...
