Laminar Combustion at High Temperatures and Pressures.

Abstract

Burning velocities of practical fuel-air mixtures of interest for internal combustion engines were measured at high temperature and pressure using the constant volume bomb method. In addition the total hydrocarbons in the combustion products were measured using a flame ionization detector. The fuels investigated included methane, propane, isooctane, methanol and indolene. The measurements covered fuel-air equivalence ratios from 0.7 to 1.6, pressures from 0.4 to 50 atm., unburned gas temperature from 298 to 700 K and residual gas mass fractions from 0 to 0.2.
