On band lumping, radiation reabsorption, and high-pressure effects in laminar flame propagation

Effects of radiation reabsorption on the burning flux of freely propagating laminar premixed flames at atmospheric and elevated pressures were numerically investigated for CH4/O2/N2/CO2 mixtures. Models with SNBCK 9 bands and 7 bands based on the …

Temperature and emissivity measurements from combustion of pine wood, rice husk and fir wood using flame emission spectrum

Biomass combustion for heat and power generation is one of the best ways for substituting fossil fuels. It is necessary to develop in situ temperature and emissivity measurement technology for biomass volatile flame. In this study, combustion …

Hetero-/homogeneous combustion of fuel-lean CH4/O2/N2 mixtures over PdO at elevated pressures

The heterogeneous and homogeneous combustion of fuel-lean CH4/O2/N2 mixtures over PdO was investigated experimentally and numerically at equivalence ratios φ = 0.27–0.44, pressures 1–12 bar and surface temperatures 710–1075 K. In situ Raman …

H2 and CO heterogeneous kinetic coupling during combustion of H2/CO/O2/N2 mixtures over rhodium

The chemical interactions between CO and H2 over rhodium were investigated for H2/CO/O2/N2 mixtures with H2:CO volumetric ratios 1:5–3:1, overall fuel-lean equivalence ratios φ = 0.13 and 0.23, a pressure of 5 bar, and surface temperatures 510-610 K. …

An improved full-spectrum correlated-k-distribution model for non-gray radiative heat transfer in combustion gas mixtures

To improve the efficiency of full-spectrum correlated-k-distribution (FSCK), a new method FSCK-RSM has been proposed based on response surface methodology (RSM) in this paper. The k-distributions of FSCK was used to fit the response surface model …
