A model is described for the ignition of heterogeneous fuel-air mixtures that assumes that mixing rates and chemical kinetics are infinitely fast and that the sole criterion for successful ignition is an adequate concentration of fuel vapor in the ignition zone. From analysis of the relevant heat an

β¦ Synopsis
The interaction of a preexisting stationary pilot flame with flammable fuel-air mixtures slowly moving in counterflow to the burnt pilot gas have been investigated as a function of the fuel concentration, the fuel-air mixture flow rate, and the characteristics of the pilot flame. Particular attention has been devoted to methane-air mixtures. Temperature profiles and concentration profiles of reactants and major final products have been measured and local flammability tests have been conducted in the combustion chamber to analyze the system. The results show that, under conditions which locally favor dilution and heating of the flammable fuel-air mixture by the burnt pilot gas, a combustion reaction burns the diffusing reactants in the upward flux of burnt pilot gas. This local reaction can either make nonflammable the surrounding atmosphere by liberating burnt gas, which increases the local dilution of unburnt gas, or ignite the remaining fuel-air mixture if both fuel and air are in proper proportions.

The blowout limit of a circular jet diffusion flame in a low velocity coflowing stream of air is extended significantly by the introduction of a small amount of some fuel vapor in a surrounding flow. The jet fuels employed were methane or hydrogen, while the coflowing stream contained, in turn, meth
Flame propagation has been investigated experimentally in mixtures of H, and air in a tube with a moving water film on the tube's walls. Significant differences in flame propagation with and without the moving water film are revealed. For mixtures with relatively high burning velocities (hydrogen co
