Experimental and Numerical Studies of the Ignition of Ultralean and Lean Mixtures of Hydrogen with Air at Normal and Elevated Pressure
摘要
The ignition of ultralean (φ = 0.1) and lean (φ = 0.5) mixtures of hydrogen with air in the temperature range of 895–1597 K and a pressure behind the reflected shock wave of 1 and 5 atm was studied experimentally. Numerical modeling of the concentration profiles of the electron-excited OH* radical was performed using several available and widely used detailed kinetic mechanisms (FFCM-2, AramcoMech 3.0, Tereza et al., Keromnes et al., and Konnov 2019). Good agreement (both quantitative and qualitative) between the experimentally observed and calculated ignition delay values τ was demonstrated. A sensitivity analysis was performed, and the key chemical reactions influencing the formation of τ were identified, and it was found out how the nature and degree of influence of these reactions change with increasing temperature and pressure.
