The analytical model of flame characteristics of hydrogen–air through wall and gas interaction analysis

چکیده مقاله

In this article, the effect of different boundary conditions and different thermal and physical properties of walls and gas on flame characteristics and stability of hydrogen–air mixture are investigated using an analytical method. This method solves the gas–wall energy equation, and the hydrogen mass conservation equations. The jump conditions are obtained by integrating the energy and mass equation into a small control volume around the flame. For validation of this model, the temperature distribution on the outer surface of the wall is compared with experimental data that show the maximum relative error of 3.5% for Q = 400 mL/min and 4.9% for Q = 200 mL/min. The maximum variation of gas temperature is nearly 6.5 times of wall temperature variation. The wall can be considered one‐ dimensional for conventional wall materials with K > 10. For the existence of combustion inside the chamber, when the value of K is greater than 10, the Péclet number should also be considered greater than 10. In a constant equivalence ratio, increasing the medium temperature increases flame stability.
