Abstract:Hydrogen–air diffusion flames were modeled with an emphasis on kinetic extinction. The flames were one-dimensional spherical laminar diffusion flames supported by adiabatic porous burners of various diameters. Behavior of normal (H2 flowing into quiescent air) and inverse (air flowing into quiescent H2) configurations were considered using detailed H2/O2 chemistry and transport properties with updated light component diffusivities. For the same heat release rate, inverse flames were found to be smaller and 290 K hotter than normal flames. The weakest normal flame that could be achieved before quenching has an overall heat release rate of 0.25 W, compared to 1.4 W for the weakest inverse flame. There is extensive leakage of the ambient reactant for both normal and inverse flames near extinction, which results in a premixed flame regime for diffusion flames except for the smallest burners with radii on the order of 1 μm. At high flow rates H + OH(+M)  H2O(+M) contributes nearly 50% of the net heat release. However at flow rates approaching quenching limits, H + O2(+M)  HO2(+M) is the elementary reaction with the largest heat release rate.
