چکیده

Changes in ow strain and mixture composition on the order of a ame time scale are characteristic of many practical combustion processes. Accurately predicting the unsteady reponse of burning to these changes requires detailed modeling of species transport and chemical kinetics. This thesis formulates a detailed one-dimensional computational model for arbitrary unsteady conditions of strain and mixture, demonstrating its applicability to subgrid modeling of turbulent combustion. A novel numerical formulation, based on a globalized Newton iterative method and a preconditioned Krylov subspace linear solver, ensures e cient and robust convergence despite the sti ness of detailed chemistry. The model is validated via comparison with OPPDIF, a well-benchmarked steady-state strained ame code. The model is then used to characterize the fundamental interactions of ow and mixture inhomogeneity| examining the dynamic response of ame structure and burning to linear variations in mixture equivalence ratio, and capturing the e ect of unsteady strain on a ame surface interacting with a vortex in two dimensions. The latter example leads to a rede nition of the appropriate subgrid strain for ame embedding simulation of premixed turbulent combustion. Thesis Supervisor: Ahmed F.

Particle streak velocimetry and CH laser-induced fluorescence diagnostics in strained, premixed, methane-air flames

We present the use of simultaneous Particle Streak Velocimetry (PSV) and CH Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) diagnostics in the study of planar, strained, premixed, methane-air flames, stabilized in a jet-wall stagnation flow. Both PSV and PLIF data are imaged at high spatial resolution and sufficiently high framing rates to permit an assessment of flame planarity and stability. Concurr...

Effect of Filter Inhomogeneity on Deep-Bed Filtration Process – A CFD Investigation

Aerosol filtration in fibrous filters is one of the principal methods of removal of solid particles from the gas stream. The classical theory of depth filtration is based on the assumption of existing single fiber efficiency, which may be used to the recalculation of the overall efficiency of the entire filter. There are several reasons for inappropriate estimation of the single fi...

Effect of the temperature difference between gas and organic dust on propagating spherical flames

A new analytical study performed to investigate the effect of the temperature difference between gas and particle in propagation of the spherical flames. The combustible system is containing uniformly distributed volatile fuel particles in an oxidizing gas (Air) mixture. The model includes evaporation of volatile matter of dust particles to known gaseous fuel (methane) and the single-stage reac...

ECT and LS-SVM Based Void Fraction Measurement of Oil-Gas Two-Phase Flow

A method based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and an improved Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for void fraction measurement of oil-gas two-phase flow. In the modeling stage, to solve the two problems in LS-SVM, pruning skills are employed to make LS-SVM sparse and robust; then the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm is introduced to solve the difficult problem...
