Analysis of Aluminum Dust Cloud Combustion Using Flame Emission SpectroscopySCIEI北大核心CSCD

In this study, aluminum flame analysis was researched in order to develop a measurement method for high-energy-density metal aluminum dust cloud combustion, and the flame temperature and UV-VIS-IR emission spectra were precisely measured using a spectrometer. Because the micron-sized aluminum flame temperature was higher than 2 400 K, Flame temperature was measured by a non-contact optical technique, namely, a modified two-color method using 520 and 640 nm light, as well as by a polychromatic fitting method. These methods were applied experimentally after accurate calibration. The flame temperature was identified to be higher than 2 400 K using both methods. By analyzing the emission spectra, we could identify AlO radicals, which occur dominantly in aluminum combustion. This study paves the way for realization of a measurement technique for aluminum dust cloud combustion flames, and it will be applied in the aluminum combustors that are in development for military purposes.     

Emission spectroscopy of flame fronts in aluminum suspensions

Spatially resolved emission spectra from Bunsen-type flames stabilized in aluminum suspensions in air and oxygen–argon/helium mixtures were obtained using a mechanical-optical scanning system. A low resolution (1.5 nm) spectrometer was used to acquire the broad spectra over the 350–1000 nm range, and a high-resolution (0.04 nm) instrument was used for observation of AlO molecular bands and non-ionized atomic aluminum. The temperature of condensed phase emitters in the flame was derived using polychromatic fitting of the continuum spectra to Planck’s law. AlO temperature was found by fitting of the theoretically calculated shape of the band to experimental data. Peak temperatures of the condensed emitters were found to be approximately 3250 K in aluminum-air flames and approximately 3350 K for oxygen–argon/helium flames. Temperatures derived from AlO spectra coincide with the temperature of the condensed emitters with measurement accuracy and are only 100–200 °C lower than the computed equilibrium flame temperatures. The radial distribution of the temperature profile of the continuous emitters was found via Abel deconvolution and recovered the double-front structure of the Bunsen flame cone, with the outer flame being attributed to a diffusion flame of the fuel-rich products with ambient air. The observation of atomic aluminum lines seen in emission from the outer flame edge and partial self-absorption from the inner flame confirms the structure associated with the double-front structure. The implications of these results for the regime of particle combustion in a dust flame are discussed.

Combustion of bimodal nano/micron-sized aluminum particle dust in air

The combustion of bimodal nano/micron-sized aluminum particles with air is studied both analytically and experimentally in a well-characterized laminar particle-laden flow. Experimentally, an apparatus capable of producing Bunsen-type premixed flames was constructed to investigate the flame characteristics of bimodal-particle/air mixtures. The flame speed is positively affected by increasing the mass fraction of nano particles in the fuel formulation despite the lower flame luminosity and thicker flame zone. Theoretically, the flames are assumed to consist of several different regimes for fuel-lean mixture, including the preheat, flame, and post flame zones. The flame speed and temperature distribution are derived by solving the energy equation in each regime and matching the temperature and heat flux at the interfacial boundaries. The analysis allows for the investigation of the effects of particle composition and equivalence ratio on the burning characteristics of aluminum-particle/air mixtures. Reasonable agreement between theoretical results and experimental data was obtained in terms of flame speed. The flame structure of a bimodal particle dust cloud may display either an overlapping or a separated configuration, depending on the combustion properties of aluminum particles at different scales. At low percentages of nano particles in the fuel formulation, the flame exhibits a separated spatial structure with a wider flame regime. At higher nano-particle loadings, overlapping flame configurations are observed.     

Measurement of radiative gas and particle emissions in biomass flames

Radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer near the burner of coal and biomass-fired boilers. Predicting and measuring heat transfer is critical to the design and operation of new boiler concepts. The individual contributions of gas and particle phases are dependent on gas and particle concentration, particle size, and gas and particle temperature which vary with location relative to the flame. A method for measuring the contributions of both gas and particle radiation capable of being applied in harsh high temperature and pressure environments has been demonstrated using emission from particles and water vapor using an optical fiber probe transmitting a signal to a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer. The method was demonstrated in four environments of varying gas and particle loading using natural gas and pulverized wood flames in a down-fired 130?kW_th cylindrical reactor. The method generates a gas and particle temperature, gas concentrations (H₂O and CO₂), total gas and particle intensities, and gas and particle total effective emissivity from line-of-sight emission measurements. For the conditions measured, downstream of the luminous flame zone, water vapor and CO₂ radiation were the dominant modes of heat transfer (effective emissivity 0.13–0.19) with particles making a minor contribution (effective emissivity 0.01–0.02). Within a lean natural gas flame, soot emission was low (effective emissivity 0.02) compared to gas (0.14) but within a luminous flame of burning wood particles (500?µm mean diameter) the particles (soot and burning wood) produced a higher effective emissivity (0.17) than the gas (0.12). The measurement technique was therefore found to be effective for several types of combustion environments.

An in-situ method for time-resolved sodium release behaviour during coal combustion and its application in industrial coal-fired boilers

To mitigate the slagging, fouling and high-temperature corrosion problems caused by alkali metals during coal combustion process, measurement of time-resolved alkali metals release is very important. The paper proposed an in-situ approach for measuring sodium (Na) release in coal combustion by Flame Emission Spectroscopy (FES). Through the analysis of spontaneous emission spectra and a calibration procedure, the concentration of gas phase Na, temperature and thermal radiation can be obtained. Firstly, experimental measurement of Zhundong coal particles burning in a flat flame burner was done. Two kinds of Zhundong coal with similar proximate and ultimate analyses, but different ash composition were used. The Na-release history measured by FES was compared with that by LIBS. Results showed that the Na-release at the devolatilization, char, and ash stages can be distinguished by FES. The higher Si/Al content in ash can suppress the Na-release at the ash stage. Moreover, FES method was extended to the measurement of Na-release in four industrial boiler furnaces of two Zhundong coal-fired power plants. Results showed the Na-release measured by FES can reflect the change of fuel and load, and both temperature and thermal radiation play key roles in Na-release in coal combustion.

Quantitative visualization of temperature field in non-luminous flame by flame reaction technique

Abstract  

An experimental technique for measuring a temperature field in an axisymmetric non-luminous flame is developed using the flame reaction technique combined with the inverse Abel transformation. Flame visualization is carried out using alkali metal solution of Potassium (K), which is supplied to a premixed methane/air flame in a form of spray mist. The basic principle of this technique is based on the measurement of local emission intensity distribution visualized by the flame reaction, which is a function of temperature according to the Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics of thermodynamics. The relationship between the local intensity and the temperature is obtained from the calibration study, in which the local intensity is evaluated from the line of sight intensity by the inverse Abel transformation, and the temperature is measured by thermocouple. This technique is successfully applied to the measurement of local temperature distribution in steady and flickering premixed methane/air flame. The temperature field in the flickering flame indicates that the local temperature oscillates periodically with the flickering frequency, and the highest temperature is found along the flame front and in the merging region.

可调空间分辨USEDCARS技术研究

相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射（CARS）技术是一种非常重要的燃烧诊断技术,该技术具有非常强的抗干扰能力和非常高的测量精度。但空间分辨力不足会使CARS技术产生很强的空间平均效应,引起成CARS光谱畸变,进而造成CARS光谱分析困难,无法通过CARS光谱反演燃烧场参数。针对非稳腔空间增强探测CARS（USEDCARS）技术存在的空间分辨不足以及空间分辨力不易改变的特点,分析了影响USEDCARS技术测量空间分辨力的各种因素,采用一组轴棱锥对USEDCARS系统中的泵浦激光进行环状光束整形,并通过调节轴棱锥之间的距离获得了不同直径的环状光束,在此基础上,建立了空间分辨可调USEDCARS诊断系统。开展了空间分辨力分析实验,获得了CARS信号强度随空间位置的分布数据,以CARS信号总强度95%包含的空间区域代表CARS的纵向空间分辨力,以此计算得到了CARS系统空间分辨力为1.7～6.5 mm连续可调。其中,高分辨力情况,达到了现有BOXCARS技术的空间分辨力。利用所建立的空间分辨可调USEDCARS诊断系统测量了酒精/空气预混火焰温度参数,获得了不同空间分辨条件下的CARS光谱。空间分辨力为1.7 mm时,获得了高质量CARS光谱,通过光谱拟合给出了所测火焰的温度信息。分辨力分别为4.9和6.5 mm时获得了较强的CARS信号,但存在光谱畸变。结果显示,空间分辨力对CARS信号的强度和空间平均效应有很大地影响,提高测量的空间分辨力可以有效消除空间平均效应,获得准确的CARS光谱,增强光谱拟合精度,同时空间分辨可调的特性使该系统能够更好地适应不同实验条件下的诊断工作。

Determination of aluminum-air burning velocities using PIV and Laser sheet tomography

In a context of growing concerns over climate change, aluminum has the potential to serve as a dense energy carrier in order to replace fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases emissions. Indeed, its combustion in air may provide carbon-free energy for applications in which a high-energy storage capacity is required. However, attempts of designing a metal-fueled combustor will conflict with a relatively large dispersion of the burning velocity values reported in the literature, even when similar powders are used. This uncertainty is partially due to the range of experimental conditions and techniques used on those previous studies. In the present work, an experimental Bunsen-type aluminum-air burner is introduced. It is shown that the setup is capable of generating stable dust suspensions under well-controlled conditions. The stabilized aluminum-air flames are studied using emission spectroscopy, Particle Image Velocimetry, laser sheet tomography, and direct visualization of the AlO(g) emissions. The measured burning velocities are then compared to previous results obtained for similar powders as a function of dust concentration. A reasonable agreement is obtained, and it is shown that metal flame tomography can yield a more precise indicator of the flame front position than AlO(g) emissions, helping to reduce the data scatter regarding dust-air burning velocities.

CS2燃烧火焰光谱辐射模型的构建与特征污染产物浓度反演研究

CS₂在当今化工等领域占据了重要地位,而CS₂火灾污染事故危害性极大。通过研究CS₂燃烧火焰光谱辐射以探究其火灾污染特性极为必要。搭建了CS₂燃烧火焰光谱测试平台,采用黑体辐射源对VSR仪器进行了标定,通过多用途傅里叶变换(VSR)红外光谱辐射仪测试了5,10和20 cm三种燃烧尺度下CS₂燃烧的火焰光谱,并通过热电偶测试了整个燃烧时间段内不同燃烧时刻下的火焰温度,以及在火焰上方安装了烟气分析仪对火焰中的燃烧产物浓度进行监测。测量了CS₂整个燃烧时间段内火焰温度,以及不同燃烧时间、不同燃烧尺度下的火焰光谱、燃烧产物组分信息。测试结果表明,CS₂火焰中主要含有高温SO₂,CO₂,CO气体和空气中卷入的H₂O分子,并获取了特征污染产物SO₂的浓度。由于现有光谱仪测量分辨率有限,室内实验测量的火焰尺度有限,为了能实现火灾在线监测需要建立一个火焰光谱辐射模型来反演CS₂火灾时的污染物浓度相关信息。基于HITRAN数据库可知在2.7 μm附近为高温水蒸气的发射峰,4.2 μm附近特征峰为高温CO₂气体的发射峰,4.7 μm附近有CO微弱的发射峰,在7.4 μm附近特征峰为高温SO₂气体的发射峰,并获得了CS₂燃烧时产生的SO₂,CO₂,CO和H₂O气体在火焰燃烧相同温度下的吸收系数,通过计算得到了CS₂燃烧时产生的SO₂,CO₂,CO和H₂O混合气体的透过率与发射率,并结合气体辐射传输方程、气体吸收系数等方程,创建了CS₂燃烧的火焰光谱辐射模型。利用该光谱辐射模型反演了不同燃烧时间下特征污染产物SO₂的浓度,并与实验测得的数据进行了对比分析。结果表明,该模型精度高,可用于燃烧产物浓度的定量化反演,SO₂分子含量在燃烧时间20,40,60和80 s时的反演精度分别是89.5%,82.5%,85.6%和86.5%。为遥感反演CS₂型大尺度火灾中燃烧产物的浓度奠定基础。
