Hydrogen Chemistry for Flames and Ignition


In the figure, the strain rate at extinction is plotted as a function of the mole fraction of water vapor in the premixed reactant stream. The solid line represents the numerical calculation based on the San Diego mechanism, while the points represent the experimental measurements of Seiser et al, 2003.




In the figure, the temperature of the oxidizer stream at autoignition is plotted as a function of the mole fraction of water vapor in the oxidizer stream. The solid line represents the numerical calculation based on the San Diego mechanism, while the points represent the experimental measurements of Seiser et al, 2003.






In the figures below, the induction times for hydrogen-air mixtures have been plotted against temperature. The lines represent detailed-chemistry numerical computations based on the San Diego mechanism 2003/08/30, while the points represent experimental results from Wang et al, 2003.
