The measurement of laminar burning velocities and Markstein numbers for iso-octane-air and iso-octane-n-heptane-air mixtures at elevated temperatures and pressures in an explosion bomb

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the initial mixture temperature and pressure on these parameters also have been examined and data have been obtained for iso-octane-air mixtures at initial temperatures between 358 K and 450 K, at pressures between 1 and 10 bar, and equivalence ratios, φ, of 0.8 and 1.0.
Journal ArticleDOI

Burning Velocities, Markstein Lengths, and Flame Quenching for Spherical Methane-Air Flames: A Computational Study

TL;DR: In this paper, the reduced kinetic, C1, scheme of Mauss and Peters is employed for a range of equivalence ratios under atmospheric conditions, with flame propagation at constant pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The burning velocity of methane-air mixtures

TL;DR: In this paper, the variation of burning velocity with equivalence ratio for methane-air mixtures at one atmosphere pressure values were determined by the bombhot wire and corrected density ratio techniques, for combustion during the prepressure period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulent burning velocities: a general correlation in terms of straining rates

TL;DR: In this article, a dimensionless power spectral density function is presented, and used to show how both effective r.m.s. turbulent velocity and flame straining rate develop in an explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of burning velocities: A critical review

TL;DR: In this article, a critical survey of different experimental techniques for the measurement of burning velocity is presented, with particular reference to the maximum burning velocity of methane-air mixtures, and recommendations are made as to the most suitable methods of measuring burning velocity for both closed vessels and burners.
