Flame Temperature Distribution from ISO2685 Standard Propane-Air Burner Using CFD

Abstract:

This analysis considers the computational simulations of the temperature distribution of a propane-air customary flame combusted from an aeronautical fire-certification set according to the ISO2685standard. The numerical codes have been executed in Computational Fluid Dyanmics using the k-ω SST turbulence model coupled with eddy-dissipation. The resultshowsthat the maximum predicted temperature using the standard flame settings exceeds the required temperature for evaluation of a fire-resistive material. The mole fractions of the by-products, carbon dioxide and water have also been predicted.
