Studying the development and interrelation of transfer processes during the combustion of a hydrogen jet flowing from a slit into the air

Abstract

This work examines the transition from kinetic to diffusion combustion using optical diagnostic methods. Experimental data were obtained on the temperature fields, composition and velocity of gas near the leading edge of a hydrogen flame flowing from a 2×20 mm slit into the air. The distribution of the rate of combustion product formation, the intensity of heat release and pressure was obtained using the method of balances in equations of energy, momentum, and mass transfer. It is shown that during the transition to diffusion combustion, heat release along the flame length decreases more slowly than the rate of water formation.
