Detonation limit data obtained at ambient conditions for some aliphatic LNG/LPG constituents with oxygen and nitrogen (air) have been analyzed in search of a single critical parameter for detonation propagation. It was established that shock, rather than C-J reaction temperatures, provides a firm basis for marginal detonability prediction and that, furthermore, classical reaction mechanisms and relatively simple calculation methods can be used for their reliable evaluation. The result is used to formulate a criterion, for predicting composition limits to detonation. For the systems investigated, this criterion is accurate to within approximately 0.2% for fuel-lean and around 1% for fuel-rich mixtures.

MARGINAL DETONATION OF ALIPHATIC NATURAL-GAS CONSTITUENTS WITH O-2/N-2 RASHIDI, F; MICHELS, HJ (Elsevier BV, 1992-12-01) Detonation propagation and detonation limits in gaseous ternary systems of methane, ethane, n-propane, and n-butane with oxygen and nitrogen have been studied in a 50-mm bore tube, at 1 bar.a and room temperature, after initiation by a denotating mixture of stoichiometric hydrogen and oxygen. Fuel-lean limit concentrations in each system are largely independent of increased diluent concentration up to mixtures with air, but fuel-rich limit concentrations vary and in the case of n-propane and n-butane appear...
Laser-induced ignition of solid propellants for gas generators Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-01) An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the ignitibility of a family of potential gas-generator solid propellants under different CO(2) laser heat fluxes and chamber operating conditions. Six types of solid propellant were tested: one baseline and five variations. The ingredients of the baseline propellant were ammonium nitrate, guanidine nitrate, potassium nitrate, and polyvinyl alcohol. The other five propellant variations were obtained by adding different amounts of carbon black, ammonium perchlo...
Analytical investigation of wet combustion process for heavy oil recovery Bağcı, Ali Suat (Informa UK Limited, 2004-12-01) Analysis of combustion tube data produced from experiments performed under realistic reservoir conditions is currently the most valid method of investigating in-situ combustion process. In this study, the optimization of water-air ratio for B. Kozluca heavy crude oil, and the comparison of the performance of dry and wet forward combustion processes were studied. An analytical model was used to extend the laboratory results so that the oil production and steam zone volume can be estimated under field conditi...
NANOSTRUCTURE OF SOOT COLLECTED FROM ETHANOL DROPLET FLAMES IN MICROGRAVITY Park, Seul-Hyun; Choi, Mun Young; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) The nanostructure of soot particles collected from spherically symmetric ethanol droplet flames were analyzed using a high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Nanostructure properties, including fringe length and curvature of carbon lamellae, were measured for soot particles collected in various inert environments. The sampling experiments were performed in the reduced gravity environments produced in the NASA 2.2 sec Droptower at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Microgravity d...
New observations of isolated ethanol droplet flames in microgravity conditions Park, Seul-Hyun; Choi, Seuk-Cheun; Choi, Mun Young; Yozgatlıgil, Ahmet (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Spherically symmetric ethanol droplet combustion experiments were performed to investigate the influence of initial droplet diameter, ambient pressure and inert substitution on the burning and sooting behaviors of ethanol droplet flames. Experiments were performed using the 2.2 sec reduced-gravity droptower facilities at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Noting the importance of transport characteristics of heat and species and their attendant effects on flame temperature and residence time on the sooting mec...
