| Abstract: | The temperature field of a premixed methane symmetric laminar flame jet is visualized by studying the interferograms of the flame, using the Mach-Zehnder Interferometry. Two kinds of oxidizers are chosen for combustion: industrially pure oxygen and oxygen-enriched air. The flame is chosen to be both lean, and rich. For the lean oxygen-enriched combustion (OEC), the equivalence ratio was held constant at 0.5, and the oxygen enrichment was adjusted to 0.5 and 0.6, and for rich OEC, equivalence ratio is chosen to be 1.2 while the oxygen enrichment was 0.7 and 0.8. For methane/oxygen combustion, the equivalence ratio varied from 0.35 to 0.55 for the lean flame, and 1.3 and 1.7 for the rich flame. Attempt was made to keep the Reynolds number unchanged at 500, for OEC, and 1000, for methane/oxygen flame. In the present study a non-contact method is successfully developed to measure the temperature field of a premixed radially symmetric laminar methane flame jet. The effect of oxygen enrichment and equivalence ratio on temperature field is also investigated and depicted. |
