Laminar burning velocities of syngas/air premixed flames, varying with H-2/CO ratio (from 5/95 to 75/25) and N-2 or CO2 dilution rate (from 0% to 60%), were accurately measured using a Teflon coated Heat Flux burner and OH-PLIF based Bunsen flame method. Experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, with fuel/air equivalence ratios ranging from fuel-lean to fuel-rich. Coupled with experimental data, three chemical kinetic mechanisms, namely GRI-Mech 3.0, USC Mech II and Davis H-2-CO mechanism, were validated. All of them can provide good prediction for the laminar burning velocity. The laminar burning velocity variations with H-2 and dilution gas contents were systematically investigated. For given dilution gas fraction, the laminar burning velocity reduction rate was enhanced as H-2/CO ratio increasing. Effects of the syngas components and equivalence ratio variation on the concentrations of radical H and OH were also studied. It appears that there is a strong linear correlation between the laminar burning velocity and the maximum concentration of the H radical in the reaction zone for syngas. This characteristic is exclusively different from that in methane air premixed flame. These findings indicated that the high thermal diffusivity of the H radical played an important role in the laminar burning velocity enhancement and affected the laminar burning velocity reduction rate under dilution condition.

Wubin Weng, Marcus Alden, Zhongshan Li

Summary: In this study, a species-specified quantitative measurement of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in combustion environments was conducted using laser-induced photofragmentation fluorescence (LIPF) technique. The most proper light source, the fourth-harmonic of Nd:YAG laser at 266 nm, was found after direct comparison. The detection limit of the LIPF planar imaging system was determined to be about 3 ppm, and the technique was applied to quantitatively measure KOH concentration in hot flue gases and visualize the distribution of KOH vapor.

Structure and scalar correlation of ammonia/air turbulent premixed flames in the distributed reaction zone regime

Qingshuang Fan, Xin Liu, Xiao Cai, Christian Brackmann, Marcus Alden, Xue-Song Bai, Zhongshan Li

Summary: The instantaneous structures of turbulent premixed ammonia/air flames on a piloted jet burner were investigated using simultaneous planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and Rayleigh thermometry measurements. The study revealed that the fuel consumption layer of the reaction zones becomes progressively thickened and distorted by turbulence with increasing turbulent intensity and axial distance. NO formation mainly occurs in the reaction zone but is transported to the preheat zone and postflame zone due to turbulence and convection. Temperature measurements showed that the preheat zone is broadened in all flames.

Ignition and combustion behavior of single micron-sized iron particle in hot gas flow

Shen Li, Jianqing Huang, Wubin Weng, Yong Qian, Xingcai Lu, Marcus Alden, Zhongshan Li

Summary: This study investigated the ignition and combustion process of single micron-sized iron particles in a hot gas flow. The results showed that the temperature of the burning particles rose rapidly and was much higher than the ambient temperature. The iron particles went through stages of heating, melting, rapid combustion, and cooling. Combustion parameters such as ignition delay time, accelerated burning time, total burning time, and second stage of combustion time increased linearly with the increase of particle size under the same oxygen concentration. Some of the iron particles became bright again after cooling.

Turbulent burning velocity and its related statistics of ammonia-hydrogen-air jet flames at high Karlovitz number: Effect of differential diffusion

Xiao Cai, Qingshuang Fan, Xue-Song Bai, Jinhua Wang, Meng Zhang, Zuohua Huang, Marcus Alden, Zhongshan Li

Summary: The role of differential diffusion in highly turbulent premixed flames was investigated using NH-PLIF diagnostics. The study found that subunity Lewis number flames have a higher global consumption speed than super-unity Lewis number flames at high Karlovitz number, indicating the significant role of differential diffusion in highly turbulent flames. Although the flame surface density and area ratio are similar for flames with different Lewis numbers, the stretch factor of sub-unity Lewis number flames is significantly larger than that of super-unity cases. The enhanced global consumption speed of sub-unity Lewis number flames is suggested to be attributed to the promotion of local burning rates by the combined effect of differential diffusion and turbulent flame stretch.

Flame/turbulence interaction in ammonia/air premixed flames at high karlovitz numbers

Leilei Xu, Qingshuang Fan, Xin Liu, Xiao Cai, Arman Ahamed Subash, Christian Brackmann, Zhongshan Li, Marcus Alden, Xue-Song Bai

Summary: The study found that the reaction zone width of premixed ammonia/air jet flames differs significantly on burners of different sizes, which is influenced by the intensity of turbulence. It was also observed that the broadening of reaction zones in flames of different burner sizes is a spatially evolving process, depending not only on local eddy/flame interaction, but also on upstream history. Flames on larger burners have turbulence eddies with larger integral length scales that cannot directly enter the reaction zones and contribute to their broadening.

Visible chemiluminescence of ammonia premixed flames and its application for flame diagnostics

Wubin Weng, Marcus Alden, Zhongshan Li

Summary: We conducted a spectroscopic study on the chemiluminescence emission of flames containing premixed ammonia-air-oxygen. The emission was found to be caused by excited NH2* radicals in the reaction zone and dominated by NO2* chemiluminescence in fuel-lean flames and NH2* chemiluminescence in fuel-rich flames in the post-flame zone. High-resolution spectra of both types of chemiluminescence in the visible region were recorded. The spectra showed different characteristics, with the NO2* spectrum being continuous and unstructured while the NH2* spectrum consisting of distinct emission lines. Equivalence ratio was determined using integrated chemiluminescence intensities in specific wavelength ranges.

Insight into KOH and KCl release behavior of burning wood and straw pellets using quantitative in situ optical measurements

Wubin Weng, Marcus Alden, Zhongshan Li

Summary: Two-dimensional laser-induced photofragmentation fluorescence (LIPF) was used to visualize the vapor of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and potassium chloride (KCl) in the plume above burning wood and straw pellets. Different techniques were employed to measure the potassium concentration, elemental potassium concentration, and surface temperature during combustion. The results showed that the release of potassium species depended on the combustion stage and the composition of the fuel. Evaluating the importance and relevance of identifying the release behavior of potassium during biomass combustion is critical for understanding the formation of alkali-related problems and optimizing combustion processes.
