Hydrogen Chemistry for Flames and Ignition
- Strain Rate at Extinction
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.
- Oxidizer Stream Temperature at Autoignition
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.
- Induction Time Calculations
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.
