Effect Of Initial Pressure Upon Laminar Burning Velocity Of Methane-AirMixtures
Main Article Content
Abstract
The effect of the initial pressure upon the laminar flame speed, for a methane-air
mixtures, has been detected paractically, for a wide range of equivalence ratio.
In this work, a measurement system is designed in order to measure the laminar flame
speed using a constant volume method with a thermocouples technique. The laminar
burning velocity is measured, by using the density ratio method.
The comparison of the present work results and the previous ones show good
agreement between them. This indicates that the measurements and the calculations
employed in the present work are successful and precise.
