Flame propagation of C2-C4 hydrocarbons/air mixture in a constant-volume micro-chamber
the outwardly propagating characteristics of quiescent ethane/air
propane/air and n-butane/air flames were experimentally investigated in a visible constant-volume micro-chamber with 35 mm diameter and 2 mm height respectively. The results showed that the flammable equivalence ratio ranges of these three fuels were different in the micro chamber. The sequence of them was ethane >propane >n-butane. Both smooth flame-front and wrinkled flame-front shapes were observed during flame propagating of these fuels. The flame speed was lower in the micro chamber than that in conventional combustion chamber
and the flame speed declined along the radial direction during flame propagating. With the increase of equivalence ratio
the flame-front was prone to appear wrinkles and crack. In addition
