Two-Dimensional Numerical Study of Temperature, Species Distributions in Coflow Laminar Diffusion Flames

Article Preview

Abstract:

Abstract. temperature and species distributions of an atmosphere coflow laminar CH4/air diffusion flame was studied by numerical simulation. We solve the steady equations for the species mass fraction, energy, momentum with detailed gas-phase reaction mechanism and complex thermal and transport properties to predict the velocity, temperature, species distributions for different dilute level. Results indicated that the predicted temperature and species are in excellent with available experiment date at different dilute level. In addition, it is indicated that adding N2 in the fuel has a significant influence on the flame temperature and species distribution.
