蜡烛火焰振荡行为的实验探究

燃烧的火焰在一定条件下会呈现出时间上的周期振荡行为,但人们对其背后的动力学机制一直不是很清楚。本文首先利用纹影法对蜡烛的火焰振荡行为进行了实验研究,发现随着火焰尺寸的增加火焰首先从平稳燃烧变为振荡燃烧,之后火焰的振荡频率会逐渐降低。通过简化的燃烧动力学模型,文中进一步对蜡烛火焰的振荡行为进行了数值和理论分析,发现火焰的振荡频率密切依赖于燃料的供应速率和火焰的体积。随着燃料供应速率和火焰体积的增大,火焰首先经历了一次霍普夫分岔进而从平稳燃烧变为振荡燃烧,之后火焰的振荡频率逐渐降低。理论分析结果与实验结论定性吻合。     

一次风风速对高温预热空气下的煤粉MILD燃烧的影响

本文研究了一次风风速对高温预热空气下的煤粉MILD燃烧的影响。首先通过与国际火焰研究基金会(IFRF)的煤粉MILD燃烧实验数据对比,验证了数值模拟方法的可行性。然后在不同一次风入射角(0°、+5°和-5°)下,保持一次风风量不变,通过改变管径将风速从26 m/s增至48 m/s。研究发现,当一次风与二次风平行(0°)或背离(+5°)入射时,提高一次风风速会使炉内的峰值温度下降;当一次风朝向(-5°)二次风入射时,提高速度会使炉内温度峰值先下降后升高。总体而言,一次风与二次风背离入射时,温度峰值最低;一次风朝向二次风入射时,温度峰值最高。     

基于模态分解的扩散火焰动态响应特性分析

针对扩散火焰燃烧不稳定性,以钝体扰流扩散火焰为对象,研究不同频率声波激励下火焰动态响应特性,通过傅里叶变换(FFT)与本征正交分解法(POD)分析火焰的图像的空间分布的频谱特性.结果 表明,火焰振荡的主要模态为火焰整体的横向振荡、尾流区的频闪振荡与纵向振荡,当外加声波激励频率与火焰自身不稳定频率接近时会增强火焰的频闪振荡与纵向振荡幅值.在高频声波激励条件下,火焰整体积分值的傅立叶变换分析无法获得激励频率的响应,而通过POD方法对火焰空间结构动态变化的分析可以得到激励频率的响应,对于分布式扩散火焰,POD方法能获得更多火焰动态变化特征.

Ethanol turbulent spray flame response to gas velocity modulation

A numerical investigation of the interaction between a spray flame and an acoustic forcing of the velocity field is presented in this paper. In combustion systems, a thermoacoustic instability is the result of a process of coupling between oscillations in heat released and acoustic waves. When liquid fuels are used, the atomisation and the evaporation process also undergo the effects of such instabilities, and the computational fluid dynamics of these complex phenomena becomes a challenging task. In this paper, an acoustic perturbation is applied to the mass flow of the gas phase at the inlet and its effect on the evaporating fuel spray and on the flame front is investigated with unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes numerical simulations. Two flames are simulated: a partially premixed ethanol/air spray flame and a premixed pre-vaporised ethanol/air flame, with and without acoustic forcing. The frequencies used to perturb the flames are 200 and 2500 Hz, which are representative for two different regimes. Those regimes are classified based on the Strouhal number St = (D/U)f_f: at 200 Hz, St = 0.07, and at 2500 Hz, St = 0.8. The exposure of the flame to a 200 Hz signal results in a stretching of the flame which causes gas field fluctuations, a delay of the evaporation and an increase of the reaction rate. The coupling between the flame and the flow excitation is such that the flame breaks up periodically. At 2500 Hz, the evaporation rate increases but the response of the gas field is weak and the flame is more stable. The presence of droplets does not play a crucial role at 2500 Hz, as shown by a comparison of the discrete flame function in the case of spray and pre-vaporised flame. At low Strouhal number, the forced response of the pre-vaporised flame is much higher compared to that of the spray flame.     

Flashback-induced flame shape transition in a two-stage LPP aeronautical combustor

Large-Eddy Simulations were performed to study the flashback-induced flame shape transition of a lean premixed M flame in a staged liquid-fuelled aeronautical lean-burner, as observed experimentally. The BIMER combustor is a Lean Premixed Prevapourised (LPP) burner composed of two stages, each with its own injector and swirler: the main outer stage, called multipoint, uses jet-in-crossflow injection to achieve the LPP regime, while the central stage, called pilot, uses a pressure swirl injector to create a hollow cone spray to stabilise the flame. During LPP operation, this M flame presents a strong acoustic activity, promoting a periodic flashback of its leading edge. When, aiming to stabilise the flame, the pilot injection is increased and the multipoint injection decreased, the oscillating leading edge (due to the longitudinal acoustic perturbations) attaches to the pilot spray, changing the flame into a Tulip shape. Two phenomena were identified as being the most relevant causes of this flame shape transition. First, the leading edge position and the thermoacoustic instability amplitude are directly linked to the combustion chamber final temperature. The higher the temperature in the chamber, the more upstream the leading edge stabilises, and the higher the acoustic oscillation amplitude, both increasing the risk of a successful flashback. Second, the injection regime with high pilot injection allows the leading edge to attach to the pilot spray, as the flame only transitions when the pilot spray is sufficiently high. The higher the pilot fuel flow, the higher the amount of fuel sprayed in the critical region where the flame might attach for a transition to the Tulip shape. Therefore, as the change in injection regime is the main mechanism lean staged burners use to reduce emissions while increasing operability, this works shows that an M flame is unsuitable to such burners with similar aerodynamic topology and properties.

“Slow” active control of combustion instabilities by modification of liquid fuel spray properties

This paper describes an experimental investigation of the feasibility of using “slow” active control approaches, which “instantaneously” change liquid fuel spray properties, to suppress combustion instabilities. The objective of this control approach was to break up the feedback between the combustion process heat release and combustor pressure oscillations that drive the instability by changing the characteristics of the combustion process (e.g., the characteristic combustion time). To demonstrate the feasibility of such control, this study used a proprietary fuel injector (Nanomiser^TM), which can vary its fuel spray properties, to investigate the dependence of acoustics–combustion process coupling, i.e., the driving of combustion instabilities, upon the fuel spray properties. This study showed that by changing the spray characteristics it is possible to significantly damp combustion instabilities. Furthermore, using combustion zone chemiluminescence distributions, which were obtained by Abel’s deconvolution synchronized with measured acoustic data, it has been shown that the instabilities were mostly driven midway between the combustor centerline and wall, a short distance downstream from the flame holder, where the mean axial flow velocity is approximately zero in the vortex near the flame holder. The results of this study strongly suggest that a “slow” active control system that employs controllable fuel injectors could be effectively used to prevent the onset of detrimental combustion instabilities.

Parametric study on a compound-drop spray flame

The introduction of compound-drop spray in a combustion system is a new concept. These droplets bear two gasification stages to cause an integral positive or negative effect on a premixed flame to raise or lower the local temperature of the gasification region. In this paper, we adopt a compound drop which contains a water core encased by a layer of shell fuel. A one-dimensional homogeneous lean or rich premixed flame with the dilute compound-drop spray was investigated by using large activation energy asymptotic analysis. The compound-drop spray burning mode was defined and divided into completely pre-vaporised burning (CPB), shell pre-vaporised burning (SPB) and shell partially pre-vaporised (SPP) burning modes by way of the gasification zones of the shell fuel and the core water relative to the flame position. The influences of the initial droplet radius, the shell-fuel mass fraction and the liquid loading of the compound-drop spray on the lean and rich flames were analysed. By means of the normalisation parameter of flame propagation mass flux (), enhancement, suppression or extinction of the compound-drop spray flame can be represented clearly. Furthermore, from the observation of extinction, the necessary conditions of extinction of a lean spray flame by the internal heat transfer are that the spray is a negative effect and causes a sufficient heat loss rate at flame sheet downstream side. For a rich spray flame, three extinction patterns were observed; they occur in SPP, SPB or at the critical SPB mode, but do not in CPB. The extinction maps of the compound-drop spray demarcate the patterns and also indicate the limitations and corresponding conditions of the flame extinction.     

A spray flamelet/progress variable approach combined with a transported joint PDF model for turbulent spray flames

A spray flamelet/progress variable approach is developed for use in spray combustion with partly pre-vaporised liquid fuel, where a laminar spray flamelet library accounts for evaporation within the laminar flame structures. For this purpose, the standard spray flamelet formulation for pure evaporating liquid fuel and oxidiser is extended by a chemical reaction progress variable in both the turbulent spray flame model and the laminar spray flame structures, in order to account for the effect of pre-vaporised liquid fuel for instance through use of a pilot flame. This new approach is combined with a transported joint probability density function (PDF) method for the simulation of a turbulent piloted ethanol/air spray flame, and the extension requires the formulation of a joint three-variate PDF depending on the gas phase mixture fraction, the chemical reaction progress variable, and gas enthalpy. The molecular mixing is modelled with the extended interaction-by-exchange-with-the-mean (IEM) model, where source terms account for spray evaporation and heat exchange due to evaporation as well as the chemical reaction rate for the chemical reaction progress variable. This is the first formulation using a spray flamelet model considering both evaporation and partly pre-vaporised liquid fuel within the laminar spray flamelets. Results with this new formulation show good agreement with the experimental data provided by A.R. Masri, Sydney, Australia. The analysis of the Lagrangian statistics of the gas temperature and the OH mass fraction indicates that partially premixed combustion prevails near the nozzle exit of the spray, whereas further downstream, the non-premixed flame is promoted towards the inner rich-side of the spray jet since the pilot flame heats up the premixed inner spray zone. In summary, the simulation with the new formulation considering the reaction progress variable shows good performance, greatly improving the standard formulation, and it provides new insight into the local structure of this complex spray flame.     

Formation of ZnO,MgO and NiO Nanoparticles from Aqueous Droplets in Flame Reactor

Nanoparticles of ZnO, MgO and NiO were produced from droplets of aqueous salt solution in the flame spray pyrolysis reactor. Conventional spray pyrolysis, in which electrical furnace reactor is used, is reported to produce nanoparticles only from acetate precursor. If the reactor pressure is low (60torr), nitrate salt precursor is also known to produce nanoparticles. In this paper, we report that nanoparticles are produced from nitrate as well as acetate salt precursor solution when propane–oxygen diffusion flame is used to decompose aqueous aerosol droplets. At low flame temperature, however, nanoparticles are not formed and the particle morphology is similar to the morphology produced by the conventional spray pyrolysis. At high flame temperature, nanoparticles are formed, regardless of the salt type. Nanoparticles are formed at lower flame temperature from acetate salts than from nitrate salts. All nanoparticle prepared in this work were fully crystallized and the size measured from transmission electron microscopy images was 30nm. This size agreed well with the particle size calculated from X-ray diffraction and specific surface area data.     

Combustion of partially premixed spray jets

Gas turbines, liquid rocket motors, and oil-fired furnaces utilize the spray combustion of continuously injected liquid fuels. In most cases, the liquid spray is mixed with an oxidizer prior to combustion, and further oxidizer is supplied from the outside of the spray to complete diffusion combustion. This rich premixed spray is called “partially premixed spray.” Partially premixed sprays have not been studied systematically although they are of practical importance. In the present study, the burning behavior of partially premixed sprays was experimentally studied with a newly developed spray burner. A fuel spray and an oxidizer, diluted with nitrogen, was injected into the air. The overall equivalence ratio of the spray jet was set larger than unity to establish partially premixed spray combustion. In the present burner, the mean droplet diameter of the atomized liquid fuel could be varied without varying the overall equivalence ratio of the spray jet. Two combustion modes with and without an internal flame were observed. As the mean droplet diameter was increased or the overall equivalence ratio of the spray jet was decreased, the transition from spray combustion only with an external group flame to that with the internal premixed flame occurred. The results suggest that the internal flame was supported by flammable mixture through the vaporization of fine droplets, and the passage of droplet clusters deformed the internal flame and caused internal flame oscillation. The existence of the internal premixed flame enhanced the vaporization of droplets in the post-premixed-flame zone within the external diffusion flame.
