Abstract: The transfer number (B) assumes considerable importance in the evaporation and diffusion of fuels prior to their combustion. Quite often the transfer number is assumed to be a constant for a ...

Abstract: In a recent publication [3], the authors tentatively explored the prediction of propane flame speeds using the calculated burned gas temperature (Tb ) and the predicted flame extinction temperature ...

Abstract: In order to model a practical combustion system successfully, it is necessary to develop one or more reaction rate equations which will describe performance over a wide range of conditions. ...

Abstract: A mechanically pulsed suction thermocouple has been developed. The gas to be measured is sucked through a sonic orifice, thus eliminating the influence of the velocity inside the combustor. The ...

Abstract: Experimental values of weak and rich limits, for a wide range of fuel-oxygen-inerts mixtures (H2 , CO, CH4 , C3 H8 , O2 , Ar, He, N2 , CO2 ), are presented for a number of tube diameters. ...

Abstract: One of the problems facing gas turbine users is the proliferation of gaseous fuels which may be available. These are so many that a comprehensive rig/engine study would be far too costly to ...

Abstract: For many years investigators studying the combustion behavior within gas turbines have presumed droplet size to play a very important role in defining combustion efficiency. Recently a very large ...
