Assignment I

Teams have been assigned to use Chemkin Pro to determine the adiabatic flame temperature and laminar burning velocity of different hydrocarbon/air premixed flames with varying equivalence ratios from 0.6 to 1.8. Teams must draw figures comparing experimental and numerical results and identify the maximum temperature and burning velocity. Teams must also analyze how blending their assigned fuel with methane would impact combustion in a water heating system and how to maintain efficiency.

Assignment 1

Deadline: 2023.3.3

Use Chemkin Pro to determine the adiabatic flame temperature and laminar
burning velocity of hydrocarbon/air flames with the variation of equivalence. Each
team has been assigned to determine the flame temperatures and burning
velocities of different hydrocarbon/air premixed flames.

Fuel assignment: propone (Team 1 & Team 5)、ethylene (Team 2 & Team 6)、
carbon monoxide (Team 3 & Team 7)、acetylene (Team 4 & Team 8).

1. Draw the figures of the laminar burning velocity and adiabatic flame temperature
of hydrocarbon/air premixed flames with various equivalence ratios (0.6~1.8) for
experimental and numerical results. (30%)

2. What is the value of maximum adiabatic flame temperature and laminar burning
velocity in your study case and in what equivalence ratio? (20%)

3. You have a water-heating system and the furnace is fueled with methane,
running at stoichiometric methane/air condition. You would like to blend the
assigned hydrocarbon fuel with methane, i.e. 50% methane and 50% your assigned
fuel. What will it change in combustion? (30%) What can you do to maintain the
combustion efficiency of your water-heating system? (20%)

Reminder: everyone has to deliver individual homework but can share


identical numerical data.
