Theory of Flame-Acoustic Interaction for Flame Propagation in Spherical Chamber
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simplified model describing acoustically-generated parametric instability in a spherical chamber is developed for quasi-one-dimensional, low-Mach flames. We demonstrate how sound waves generated by a centrally-ignited, outwardly-propagating accelerating flamefront can be incorporated into a theory of self-similar flame acceleration in free space developed previously. Being reflected from the chamber wall, flame-generated sound waves interact with the flamefront and the attendant hydrodynamic flame front cellular instability. This in turn affects the subsequent flame shape and propagation speed. It is shown that acoustics modifies the exponent in the selfsimilar power-laws flame acceleration, facilitating the transition to detonation in confinement.

Effect of Radiation Heat Loss and Ventilation on Dust Explosions in Spherical Vessels
The flame propagation through a coal dust-air mixture in a spherical vessel was studied by means of a one-dimensional, Arrhenius-type kinetics and quasi-steady model. The model includes the evaporation of the volatile matter of dust particles into a known gaseous fuel (methane) and the single-stage reaction of the gas-phase combustion. Effect of venting devices as safety idea and the radiation ...

Dynamics of outwardly-propagating reaction fronts inspires both fundamental and practical interests. While for the former we can mention in pass supernovae explosions and measurements of laminar flame speeds of reactive mixtures, the latter is relevant to the operation of engines and prevention of spark-initiated hazards such as accidental or intentional explosions. While a pointy-ignited, expa...

Mesoscale internal combustion engines for a variety of new combustion system applications have dimensions that are far smaller than conventional macroscale engines, yet unlike true microscale engines allow significant mean flow and turbulence to be created in the combustion chamber by the injection process. The resulting flow allows minimization of the combustion time by augmenting flame propag...
