Ultra-slow ammonia flame speeds — A microgravity study on radiation

Résumé

Ammonia/air flames burn slowly and are consequently affected by buoyancy-, radiation-, and stretch related uncertainties more than many conventional hydrocarbon fuels. In this work, unique buoyancy-free ammonia/air flame speed data were acquired and analyzed, specifically considering the impact of radiation. First, outwardly propagating ammonia/air flames near the propagation limits were accurately measured under microgravity using two simultaneous techniques. Flame radius evolution was captured by a high-speed Schlieren arrangement (optical method) in a near-isobaric regime. Accompanying, pressure rise was measured and subsequently used for flame speed extraction during near-isentropic gas compression. A profound nonlinear dependence of flame propagation speed on stretch was captured over the optical results in the observable range of the current setup, which illustrates the limitations of the optical method in comparison to the pressure-rise method. Radiation-corrected optical and pressure-rise results have shown good agreement along multiple isentropes, thereby cross-validating applied methodologies and highlighting very good consistency of the acquired data. Pressure-rise data analysis has shown sensitivity in the assessment of kinetic mechanisms to the radiation effect. In the absence of appropriate radiation correction for flame speed data, misinterpretations may arise regarding the accuracy of kinetic models, introducing challenges in the development of accurate kinetic models. The performance of the chemical kinetic models was quantified in a wide range of unburned gas temperatures (< 500 K) and pressures (< 9.3 bar) against distinctive experimental flame speed data with and without radiation correction acquired under microgravity indicating good performance of the Han et al. (2019) model.
