Experiments were conducted to investigate the heat transfer and CO/NO X emissions of a premixed LPG/ air circular flame jet impinging upwards normally to a flat rectangular plate. Temperatures of the impingement plate were controlled by cooling water at 38 Β°C, 58 Β°C and 78 Β°C which was circulating a

Abstract
This work investigates the effects of varying the pressure of the mixture reactants and the angle of impingement on the performance characteristics of a turbulent premixed jet flame impinging on a solid surface. These effects are important for the design of torches and flaming machines used for material and metal cutting and forming. The combustion and flow characteristics are modelled using a finite volume computational approach. Based on the simulation results, it is shown that, by increasing the pressure of the mixture reactants, the flameβsurface interaction mechanisms are modified. Changing the impingement angle increases the role of chemical kinetics and reduces maximum temperature values due to increased local flame extinction. The heat released and temperature predictions are compared to experimental data and the agreement is satisfactory.

A model for countergradient transport recently developed by us for one-dimensional freely propagating turbulent premixed flames is extended here to the case of flames impinging on a wall. According to this approach, the progress variable flux is split into a gasdynamics (pressure-driven, countergrad
A numerical study on effects of pressure on structure and extinction of a tubular flame was made. The adopted approach was the detailed kinetics theory combined with the exact similarity solution for the flow field.
