Effect of Chemistry and Transport Properties on Near-Limit Flames at Microgravity

Ronney, Paul D.·1988·Combustion Science and Technology

Abstract

The role of chemical kinetics in the behavior of near-limit flames at rnicrogravity (μg) was investigated experimentally by comparison of the properties of these flames in mixtures having varying chemistry but similar diffusive transport properties. Conversely, the importance of unequal rates of diffusion of thermal energy and mass was evaluated by comparison of flames in mixtures having similar chemistry but varying Lewis numbers, It was found that the characteristics of near-limit flames at μg were affected much more by Lewis number effects than chemistry. It is concluded that there are at least three regimes of near-limit behavior at μg, depending upon the Lewis number (Le): (1) cellular flames, which are highly resistant to extinguishment, for mixtures with Le≪l, (2) self-extinguishing flames and well-defined flammability limits for mixtures with Le≃ 1, and (3) ignition energy limited flame propagation for Le ≪ 1, Gradual rather than abrupt transitions between regimes were observed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
