Abstract
For studying the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) on the self-accelerating properties of syngas/air mixture's turbulent premixed flame, an experimental study was carried out on 90%H2/10%CO/air mixture at the turbulence intensity of 1.31 m/s. The effects of various equivalence ratios (0.6, 0.8 and 1.0) and carbon dioxide contents (10%, 20% and 30%) on the flame evolution and propagation speed were studied. The effects of the CO2 contents and equivalence ratios on the self-acceleration properties in the flame propagation transition stage were evaluated. The effects of effective Lewis number and Zel'dovich number on the fractal excess and acceleration exponent were analyzed. The results showed that, as the CO2 contents increased, the development process of the flame slowed down, and the rate of growth of the flame's radius and the turbulent premixed flame propagation speed decreased at the same radius. The fractal excess and acceleration exponent increased with the increasing CO2 contents and decreased with the increasing equivalence ratio. Under different equivalence ratios and CO2 contents, the syngas/air premixed flame acceleration exponent was less than 1.5 in the transition stage.
