摘要

采用实验及数值计算研究了乙醇和二甲醚微圆管射流火焰燃烧特性。通过实验观察到不同燃料流速下乙醇和二甲醚火焰都具有四种典型的火焰形态；使用平面激光诱导荧光测试系统获得了微射流火焰的OH基元分布，实验结果表明在较高流速下稳定燃烧的乙醇火焰比二甲醚火焰直径小，且略高于二甲醚火焰；采用考虑详细化学反应机理的数值计算对乙醇和二甲醚火焰进行了数值模拟，计算结果与实验现象吻合较好；利用一维非预混对冲火焰计算进一步研究了这两种燃料的化学反应路径，分析结果表明乙醇和二甲醚火焰的中间产物有显著差异，两种燃料化学反应特性的差异导致了不同的微火焰结构。

Abstract

Combustion characteristics of ethanol and dimethyl ether (DME) micro-jet flames were investigated experimentally and numerically. Four typical flames were observed in experiments of both ethanol flames and DME flames. The OH distributions of micro-jet flames were obtained by using OH-Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (OH-PLIF) measuring system

the results showed that stable ethanol flames at relatively high velocities have smaller diameter and are slightly higher than counterparts of DME flames. Numerical simulation of ethanol and DME micro-jet flames were performed by numerical computations with a detailed chemical reaction mechanism

and the computed results agreed well with the experimental results. Reaction flux analyses of these two fuels were also performed with numerical calculation of one-dimensional non-premixed counterflow flame

which showed that there is a significant difference in intermediate species between the ethanol and DME flames. And the difference in chemical reaction characteristics leads to the difference in the flame structure of these two fuels.
