✦ Synopsis
The burning velocities of hydrogen-air and hydrogen-air-steam mixtures as a function of the temperature and composition of the unburned gases have been measured by laser-Doppler anemometry and schlieren photography using a constant-velocity nozzle burner. A two-cyclone in-series particle generator was designed to provide a suitable particle seeding rate for the laser-Doppler anemometer. The overall method was checked by comparing measurements for methane--air mixtures with those of Andrews and Bradley, whose data were obtained from both hot wire measurements in spherical propagating flames and double-ignition measurements in a closed vessel. Excellent agreement was observed.
Burning velocities of hydrogen-air mixtures measured at room temperature agree well with those reported by Gilnther and Janisch. New data have been obtained for the burning velocity as a function of unburned gas temperature. The addition of steam to a hydrogen-air mixture noticeably decreases the burning velocity. A correlation equation has been derived from the observed burning velocities covering a hydrogen concentration range of 18--65 volume %, a steam concentration range of 0-15 volume %, and a temperature range of 23-250~C.
