چکیده

The laminar flame speed of Dimethyl Ether (DME)/air mixtures at room temperature and atmospheric pressure were determined experimentally over an extensive range of equivalence ratios, with and without 15% nitrogen dilution, using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and a stagnation flame burner configuration. The laminar flame speeds were determined by linear extrapolation of the measured reference flame speed versus stretch rate to zero stretch rate. Experimental results are compared with available literature data and predictions of the model based on the recently published detailed reaction mechanism of DME oxidation [8,9]. The measurements are significantly higher at all equivalence ratios than the data recently reported from spherical bomb experiments. A comparison of laminar flame speed calculations using a DME oxidation mechanism developed earlier in our laboratory agrees reasonably well with the present experimental data, without modifications. Differences from prior calculations using this mechanism reported by Daly et al. [18] are resolved to be as a result of differences in numerical constraints rather than kinetics or transport databases. Modifications of the mechanism suggested in [18] are not compatible with DME validation results in the original mechanism development or with flame speed predictions for other simple fuels such as methane.

The spark energy transferred under the highly stratified conditions during late injection in a spray-guided spark-ignition direct-injection (SG-SIDI) engine is not well characterized. The impact of high pressures, temperatures, velocities, and variations in local fuel concentration along with temporal and/or spatial variations on spark performance must be better characterized. Previous spark ig...

Comparisons of Experimental and Simulated Velocity Fields in Membrane Module Spacers

Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...
