With the addition of HMDSO or HMDSA to premixed flames, an orange secondary flame or a flame brush appeared and was contributed to the formation of Sio2 particles. Based upon the EDS, XPS and FTIR analysis, it is believed that the synthesized products consist of mainly SiO2 and a small amount of SiO. The pure SiO2 crystal structure, was proved by XRD analysis, which may form from the SiO2 amorphous structure after high temperature (1300C) thermal treatment. The nano-size SiO2 particles, which ranged from 2.5-25 nm, are proved by analysis of the BET and TEM. A 2-D CFD-RC code with 12 reduced chemical reaction mechanism, based upon the SIMPLER procedure, was successfully employed to predict the flame temperature and both of the SiO2 and SiO concentration profiles. Compared with the experimental results, the calculated temperature profiles in the post-flame region are in good agreement with the measured data and observation phenomena.展开更多

Tests, including changing axial or radial air flow rate, adding cooling water, and adding staged air, were performed to characterize and opimize the fuel-rich burning zone and the fuel-lean burnout zone independently. Detailed measurements of O_2, CO_2, CO, NO and NOx were made at the fuel-rich burning zone and furnace exit. The influence of forming CO, NO and NOx was examined. Results indicated that adding staged air in the fuel-rich burning zone (75 cm from burner) will reduce the mawximum NO and NO_x emissions. Adding cooling water in a right position may further lower the NO and NO_x emissions. In addition, the least formation of thermal nitrogen oxides in the first stooge fuel-rich bunting zone will occur at the stoichiometric ratio's inverse value, (φ_1)^(-1), 0.65 to 0.7.展开更多

Lewis number of the deficient-to- stoichiometric hydrocarbon/air mixture has been theoretically predicted over a wide range of preheated temperature. These predictions are compared with the experimental data on disport properties that exist in the literature. The response of the burning velocity to flame stretch can be parameterized by the laminar flame speed and Markstein length. Therefore, if the laminar flame speed and Markstein number could be accurately simulated by using an analytic expression of characterized temperature, equivalence ratio, and Lewis number, the results are applicable to the prediction of methane, acetylene, ethylene, ethane, and propane flames. Expanding previous studies on the extinction of premixed flames under the influence of stretch and incomplete reaction, the results were further classified and rescaled. Finally, it could be inferred that parameter Pq, the rescaled extinction Karlovitz number could be used to explain the degree or flame quench.展开更多
