Computational experiments on fundamental un stretched laminar burning velocities and flame response to stretch (represented by the Markstein number) of hydrogen-air flames at high temperatures and pressures were conducted in order to understand the dynamics of the flames including hydrogen as an attractive energy carrier in conditions encountered in practical applications such as internal combustion engines. Outwardly propagating spherical premixed flames were considered for a fuel-equivalence ratio of 0.6, pressures of 5 to 50 atm, and temperatures of 298 to 1000 K. For these conditions, ratios of unstretched-to-stretched laminar burning velocities varied linearly with flame stretch (represented by the Karlovitz number), similar to the flames at normal temperature and normal to moderately elevated pressures, implying that the "local conditions" hypothesis can be extended to the practical conditions. Increasing temperatures tended to reduce tendencies toward preferential-diffusion instability behavior (increasing the Markstein number) whereas increasing pressures tended to increase tendencies toward preferential-diffusion instability behavior (decreasing the Markstein number).

본 연구는 구형으로 전파하는 합성가스-공기 화염의 셀 불안정성에 있어서 헬륨, 이산화탄소, 질소의 희석제 첨가효과에 관하여 실험을 수행하였다. 층류화염속도와 Markstein Length는 여러 희석제 농도와 당량비에서 측정된 쉴리렌 이미지를 분석함으로써 측정하였다. 실험결과 반응혼합물에 희석제를 첨가했을 경우 층류화염속도와 Markstein Length는 두드러진 감소를 보였다. 희석제로 헬륨을 첨가한 합성가스-공기화염에서의 유효 루이스 수는 증가했지만 이산화탄소와 질소를 첨가시킨 혼합물에서는 희석제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 유효 루이스 수는 감소하였다. 또한, 헬륨으로 희석시킨 경우 셀 형성은 현저하게 억제된 경향성을 보였으나 이산화탄소나 질소를 첨가했을 경우 셀 불안정성이 완화되는 효과는 없었다.

To investigate cell formation in hydrocarbon/hydrogen/carbon monoxide-air premixed flames, the outward propagation and cellular instabilities were experimentally studied in a constant pressure combustion chamber at room temperature and elevated pressures. Unstretched laminar burning velocities and Markstein lengths of the mixtures were obtained by analyzing high-speed schlieren images. In this study, hydrodynamic and diffusional- thermal instabilities were evaluated to examine their effects on flame instabilities. The experimentally-measured unstretched laminar burning velocities were compared to numerical predictions using the PREMIX code. Effective Lewis numbers of premixed flames with methane addition decreased for all of the cases; meanwhile, effective Lewis numbers with propane addition increased for lean and stoichiometric conditions and increased for rich and stoichiometric cases for hydrogen-enriched flames. With the addition of propane, the propensity for cell formation significantly was diminished, whereas cellular instabilities for hydrogen-enriched flames were promoted. However, similar behavior of cellularity was obtained with the addition of methane to the reactant mixtures.

Experiments were conducted in a constant pressure combustion chamber using schlieren system to investigate the effects of carbon dioxide/nitrogen/helium diluents on cellular instabilities of syngas-air premixed flames at room temperature and elevated pressures. Laminar burning velocities and Markstein lengths were calculated by analyzing high-speed schlieren images at various diluent concentrations and equivalence ratios. Experimental results showed substantial reduction of the laminar burning velocities and of the Markstein lengths with the diluent additions in the fuel blends. Effective Lewis numbers of helium-diluted syngas-air flames increased but those of carbon dioxide- and nitrogen-diluted syngas-air flames decreased in increase of diluents in the reactant mixtures. With helium diluent, the propensity for cells formation was significantly diminished, whereas the cellular instabilities for carbon dioxide-diluted and nitrogen-diluted syngas-air flames were not suppressed.
