| ABSTRACT |
|
This work is to investigate the surface heat flux and combustion characteristics of premixed propane mixture in a constant volume chamber. The experiment of heat flux and combustion characteristics of premixed propane mixture are performed with various equivalence ratio and initial pressure conditions. Based on the experimental results, it is found that the maximum instantaneous temperature is increased with the increase of initial pressure in the chamber. There are significant differences in the burning velocity of premixed propane mixture at different measuring points in the constant volume combustion chamber. Also, the trends of temperature difference at each measuring points are similar to the burning velocity in the combustion chamber. It is concluded that the total heat loss during the combustion period is affected by the equivalence ratio and the initial condition of fuel-air mixture. |
