Abstract
As a carbon free fuel and a hydrogen-energy carrier, ammonia is expected to be one of the promising energy carriers and to be widely used in industries. In this study, the parameters of ammonia/oxygen flame, such as laminar flame speed, the Markstein length, laminar flame thickness, and critical radius of flame instability onset have been investigated experimentally and numerically. A spherical ammonia /oxygen flame propagated in a constant volume chamber and a high speed digital Schilieren photograph system were used in the study. The influences of initial pressure and equivalence ratio on flame propagation have been investigated. It was found that the maximum laminar flame speed in ammonia/oxygen mixture is 1.09 m/s. The flame thickness decreases with the initial pressure increase. Generally, Markstein length increases with the increasing of equivalence ratio while it decreases with the increasing of initial pressure. The minimum critical radius in ammonia/oxygen is 1.8 cm. And the critical radius decreases with the increase of initial pressure. The mechanisms of flame instability in ammonia/oxygen mixture were analyzed, and the stabilize effect of flame stretch in ammonia/oxygen have been observed.
