상호작용을 하는 희박-희박 예혼합화염의 소화특성에 관한 연구

On the Extinction Characteristics of the Interacting Lean-Lean Premixed Flames

본 연구에서는 대향류 유동장에서 두 예혼합화염의 후류 상호작용을 Fig.1 과 같은 계를 이용하여 일반적인 Lewis수에 대하여 접합 점근 전개 방법으로 해석하 여, 강한 상호작용을 나타내는 구간의 변화가 확산선호도의 영향임을 규명하고, 화염 스트레치가 상호 작용하는 예혼합화염의 소화특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다.

Extinction characteristics of the two interacting premixed flames are analyzed for the effects of flame stretch and preferential diffusion using large activation energy asymptotic analysis by adopting counterflow system as a model problem. Results show that the flammable limit of the thermally interacting premixed flames is extended compared to the single flame, and the extinction mechanism is classified into weak and strong interactions. As the lewis number of the deficient species increases, the region of strong interaction diminishes which can explain the different characteristics of the extinction boundaries of the lean (rich) methane/air and butane/air flames. The influence of the flame stretch to the interaction boundaries is also studied.
