Abstract:The aim of this work was determined turbulent burning velocities of air-syngas-methane flames at sub-atmospheric conditions using the angle method and Schlieren imaging. We analyzed a high hydrogen content syngas that can be obtained with a Conoco-Phillips coal gasification process. Equivalence ratios evaluated here correspond to lean combustion conditions: 0.8-1.0. Experiments were carried out at room temperature of 297 K and 849 mbar. The chemical-turbulence interaction was evaluated considering geometric pa… Show more

“…Many correlations between laminar burning velocity and turbulent burning velocity have been studied in general terms by different authors [9][10][11][12]. Studies have also focused on the study of methane and air premix flames, arriving at correlations for the turbulent burning velocity S T = f(S L , u′, P) as a function of laminar burning velocity, turbulence intensity and pressure.…”
Turbulent burning velocity is one of the most relevant parameters to characterize the premixed turbulent flames. Different correlation has been proposed to estimate this parameter. However, most of them have been obtained using experimental data at atmospheric pressure or higher. The present study is focused on obtaining a correlation for the turbulent burning velocity using data at sub-atmospheric pressure. The turbulent burning velocity was experimentally calculated using the burner method, where turbulent premix flames are generated in a Bunsen burner. Stoichiometric and lean conditions were evaluated at a pressure of 0.85 atm and 0.98 atm, whereas the turbulence intensity was varied for each condition. Perforated plates and a hot-wire anemometer were used to generate and measure the turbulence intensity. Schlieren images were used to obtain the average angle of the flame and calculate the turbulent burning velocity. Experiments and theory show that the turbulent deflagration rate decrease as pressure decrease. The turbulent deflagration speed decreased by up to 16 % at 0.85 atm concerning atmospheric conditions for the same turbulence intensity, discharge velocity, and ambient temperature, according to the experimental results. The comparison among the experimental results at sub-atmospheric conditions and the correlations reported in the literature exposes prediction issues because most of them are fitted using data at atmospheric conditions. A general correlation is raised between turbulent burning velocity (ST), laminar burning velocity (SL) and turbulence intensity (u’) proposed from the experimental data. This correlation has the form For sub-atmospheric and atmospheric conditions, the coefficients were determined

“…At subatmospheric pressure, the relationship between the normalized burning velocity and normalized turbulent fluctuations was inverted because of the atmospheric condition. Cardona et al 16 studied syngas/methane/air flames at subatmospheric conditions. The equivalence ratios they evaluated correspond to lean combustion conditions: 0.8–1.0.…”

“…Flames were generated in a nozzle-type Bunsen burner and then analyzed using Schlieren photography. The experimental setup and methodology to obtain S T which are discussed belowhave been used before by Kobayashi et al, − Rangwala et al, , Wang et al, , Cardona et al, and Grover et al for methane and different hydrocarbon mixtures. It has been reported that this methodology is one of the most appropriate one to obtain S T because flames are stationary, and it is possible to perform long-time measurements.…”

The
aim of our work was to study turbulent premixed flames in subatmospheric
conditions. For this purpose, turbulent premixed flames of lean methane/air
mixtures were stabilized in a nozzle-type Bunsen burner and analyzed
using Schlieren visualization and image processing to calculate turbulent
burning velocities by the mean-angle method. Moreover, hot-wire anemometer
measurements were performed to characterize the turbulent aspects
of the flow. The environmental conditions were 0.85 atm, 0.98 atm,
and 295 ± 2 K. The turbulence–flame interaction was analyzed
based on the geometric parameters combined with laminar flame properties
(which were experimentally and numerically determined), integral length
scale, and Kolmogorov length scale. Our results show that the effects
of subatmospheric pressure on turbulent burning velocity are significant.
The ratio between turbulent and laminar burning velocities increases
with turbulence intensity, but this effect tends to decrease as the
atmospheric pressure is reduced. We propose a general empirical correlation
as a function between

This work presents an experimental investigation on the combustion behavior of a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in hot and diluted streams, like those obtain under flameless combustion regimes. A jet in a hot coflow burner was used to carry out the experiments. This burner consists of a central fuel jet surrounded by a combustion products stream, which comes from a premixed flame under lean conditions. In this way, it is possible to obtain high temperature and low oxygen concentration in the jet flame. Here, a mixture of 40% H2, 40% CO and 20% CO was issued through the jet nozzle. This composition corresponds to a renewable fuel known as syngas. Three oxygen composition in the oxidant stream were evaluated: 2.0%, 4.7% and 6.9%. Temperature and species concentration values were measured along axial and radial lines under a fix Reynolds’s number. The results suggest that when oxygen concentration increases, CO and NO emissions of the total process decreases.
