Abstract:
In this study, experiments were performed in a vented cylindrical vessel to investigate the effects of hydrogen ratio (chi) on the vented deflagration of hydrogen/methane/air mixtures with an ignition source located near the vent of the chamber at an initial pressure of 101 kPa and initial temperature of 290 K. Pressure-time histories in the vessel were obtained via a piezoelectric pressure sensor, and flame propagation was recorded using high-speed photography. The experimental results revealed that the flame cellularity appeared earlier as chi increased. The pressure evolution was nearly independent of chi, as it was no higher than 0.15, but depended on chi in the tests with higher values of chi. Acoustic oscillations of the internal overpressure appeared when chi ranged from 0.3 to 0.9, which were closely related to the fine cells formed periodically on the flame surface. The pressure peak due to acoustically enhanced combustion dominated the pressure-time histories, and its amplitude first increased and then decreased as chi increased from 0.6 to 0.9. The overall maximum explosion overpressure (P-max) did not increase monotonically with an increase in chi, and the highest value was reached at chi = 0.7. Therefore, a non-monotonic trend between P(max )and laminar-burning rate of hydrogen/methane/air mixtures was obtained, which has not been reported in previous studies.
