Diffusion Combustion of the Round Microjet Mixture of Hydrogen with Metane, Helium and Nitrogen

Read more The purpose of the given work will consist in an experimental studies of the diffusion combustion features of the hydrogen round microjet mixtures with the metane, helium and nitrogen. It is found, that the mechanism and characteristics of a microjet and a flame evolution at diffusion combustion of the hydrogen mixture with the metane, helium or nitrogen are connected with the «bottleneck» flame area formation, as well as in a situation of a pure hydrogen microjet diffusion combustion. It is revealed, that process of diffusion combustion of a hydrogen / metane mixture in a round microjet is accompanied by stage-by-stage stages of a turbulent flame detachment at preservation of combustion in the «bottleneck» flame area, and, at last extinction of microjet combustion that correlates with combustion process of a similar microjet of pure hydrogen. It is found, that all above-listed stages of a hydrogen / metane mixture combustion are realized in a range considerably smaller speeds of a microjet (200÷500 m/sec), than in a similar situation of a pure hydrogen microjet combustion (600÷800 m/sec). It is shown, that at diffusion combustion of a mixture of hydrogen with metane or helium or nitrogen in a round microjet for stabilization of combustion with growth of a microjet speed it is necessary to increase a portion of hydrogen (or to reduce a portion of an impurity) in a mixture of gases.
