Steady laminar stagnation flow NH3-H2-air flame at a plane wall: Flame extinction limit and its influence on the thermo-mechanical stress and corrosive behavior of wall materials

Abstract

The steady laminar stagnation flow flame of NH${}_3$-H${}_2$-air gas mixture stabilized at a plane wall is numerically investigated. Its interaction with the wall with the consideration of heat loss is the focus of this work. The numerical study of the combustion system is performed by using the full chemical mechanism and detailed transport model including the differential diffusion and Soret effect. The simulation of the solid mechanics is based on the theory of isotropic linear thermo-elasticity. With the numerical simulation, it will be discussed how the wall material would change the flame stability in terms of extinction limit, and how the combustion system such as mixture composition, flame strain rate, and pressure would vary the thermo-mechanical stresses in the solid wall and the corrosive behavior at the surface of the wall.
