From a practical point of view, the most severe oscillations are at the 100–500-Hz range. This low-frequency rumble is generally characterized by longitudinal acoustic oscillations. It has been shown that combustion oscillations can be stabilized by controlled periodic addition of secondary fuel, usually in the form of premixed gas fuel. The main idea of the present study is to use the air from the oscillating flow of the unstable combustor for the atomization and distribution of part of the main liquid fuel to obtain the required oscillating phase-shifted heat addition for stabilization. The effervescent spray injection, at relatively low operating pressure, was investigated as a model for pressure-dependent atomizer. A special laser light sheet system was used to obtain an integral indication of spray oscillation. Phase Doppler anemometry measurements were performed to determine the droplet velocity and droplet diameter oscillations with the different phase shifts respect to the oscillations of the atomizing air. A special diagnostic system based on the chemiluminescence of CH radicals is used for direct determination of heat addition oscillations.</p><p>The measurements revealed very fast response of the combined effervescent atomizer and flame-holding configuration. Response time between pressure perturbations and the heat release, of the order of 1–3 ms, as well as the limited spatial distribution of the control heat release was achieved. These characteristics proved the system's ability to serve as a passive control unit for suppressing low-frequency combustion oscillations in unstable combustors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 2","pages":"Pages 2033-2037"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0082-0784(98)80049-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134610634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that LIF measurements are strongly perturbed by the presence of background emissions issued from the radiative relaxation of photolytic fragments (HCl^*, CCl^*, CH^*, and C₂^*) formed upon laser excitation. The parent molecules that are partly responsible for these emissions are C₂H₃Cl (for HCl^*, CH^*) and CHCl₂ (for CCl^*).</p><p>Profiles of both photolytic fragments and species directly measured by LIF are used to study the influence of CH₃Cl and CH₂Cl₂ addition on CCl and NO formation in methane-air flames.

The suggested reaction paths may preferentially involve the contribution of CHCl₂ in case of CH₂Cl₂ degradation and CH₂Cl in case of CH₃Cl degradation. An important increase of NO in presence of CHC is pointed out for the first time. The NO formation in flames containing CHC appears to occur in the reaction zone of the flames, and [NO] is found to be constant in the burned gases: This suggests a predominance of the prompt-NO mechanism in this kind of flame as confirmed experimentally by the observed [CH] increase.

At a later time, ignition occurred in the gas phase, as evidenced by radical buildup such as CN and OH. This often showed as a spherical ignition kernel away from the surface. The flame then transitioned rapidly to a thin flame sheet that moved toward the surface. With longer heating times, laser-supported quasi-steady-state-deflagration develops as the flame sheet again moves somewhat further from the surface.

Experiments were conducted using an Illinois #6 coal and a blend of Illinois #6 coal and wheat straw to determine the thermal conductivity of highly porous, unsintered deposits and to examine the influence of the initial stages of sintering on these deposits. For deposits formed while firing both fuels the measured thermal conductivity of loose, unsintered deposits is 0.15 W/(m K), almost a factor of three greater than that of air under these conditions. The initial stages of deposit sintering and densification are accompanied by a substantial increase in deposit thermal conductivity. Subsequent sintering continues to densify the deposit but has little effect on deposit thermal conductivity. These trends correspond to anticipated effects of sintering on the development of a layered deposit structure and on particle contact efficiency.

As turbulence may be viewed as a collection of vortices with different scales and intensities, the interaction of isolated vortical structures with flames defines the elementary process by which turbulence acts on flames. Experiments and interpretation are thus simplified because the unperturbed flame and the incoming vortex may be controlled with precision. We here investigate the influence of vortex velocity (directly related to its induced strain rate) and of global mixture ratio on the extinction limits. Three vortex types with different velocities interact with a non-premixed diluted hydrogen-air flame. The global mixture ratio of this flame has been varied between 0.5 and 1.2. Four different kinds of interaction are described, and the limits of the connected-flame regime, relevant for flamelet modeling, are identified. The growth of the flame surface during the interaction is also examined, showing very different effects depending on vortex velocity and global mixture ratio. The increase in flame surface area is maximum for slow vortices and intermediate values of the mixture ratio. The main features of the interaction and the relative importance of the increase in flame surface are then explained in the light of characteristic times and extinction strain rates obtained by asymptotic analysis. The extinction of the flame front is finally examined using direct numerical simulations of flame-vortex interactions, including complex chemistry, detailed thermodynamics, and multicomponent diffusion velocities. The relative importance of the strain rate acting on the flame front and of mixing effects is assessed, proving that unmixedness is not responsible for the extinction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101203,"journal":{"name":"Symposium (International) on Combustion","volume":"27 1","pages":"Pages 719-726"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0082-0784(98)80465-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"100834729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, spatially resolved LII signals from soot within a methane/air diffusion flame are calibrated using CRD, which avoids extrapolation required of less sensitive methods in current use. Comparison of CRD with traditional light extinction and path-integrated LII verifies its accuracy for <em>f</em>_v determination. Using CRD, quantification of LII for parts per billion (ppb) <em>f</em>_v levels is demonstrated. Experimental tests demonstrate the accuracy of CRD for a single laser-pulse to be better than ±5% for measurement of ppb soot volume fraction levels over a 1-cm pathlength.
