Effects of negative electric field on C3H8/O2/Ar/CO2 flame characteristics under different CO2 blending concentrations
To study the influence of the flame propagation speed on the electric field-flame effects
an experiment was conducted on the constant volume combustion bomb to investigate the effects of negative direct current electric field(U=0
-5
-10 kV) on the C3H8/O2/Ar/CO2 premixed flame with the different CO2 blending concentrations at equivalent fuel/air ratio of 1.0
room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The CO2 blending concentrations are 0
10%
15%
and 20%
respectively. Given applied electric field and mixture concentration
the flame propagation speed of C3H8/O2/Ar/CO2 flame decreases with the CO2 blending concentrations increasing
while both the normalized flame deformation ratio and the mean change rate of the flame propagation speed increase. When U=-10 kV and C3H8/O2/Ar/CO2 flames with the CO2 blending concentrations of 0
10%
15%
and 20%
the mean normalized flame deformation ratios are 1.01
1.31
1.80
and 3.12
respectively. The mean change rate of the flame propagation speeds are 10.87%
17.87%
19.16%
and 34.63%
respectively. The results show that the promoting effect of negative DC electric field on C3H8/O2/Ar/CO2 flame propagation is significantly enhanced with the decrease of flame propagation rate.
