Investigation on Thermal and Chemical Effects of CO2in Oxygen Enriched Flame

An analysis of the effects of on fundamental combustion characteristics was performed in Oxygen enriched condition by comparing the laminar burning velocities, flame structures, fuel oxidation paths. Fictitious was introduced to discriminate the chemical reaction effects of from the thermal effects. PREMIX code was utilized to evaluate the laminar burning velocities. OPPDIF code was utilized to investigate the flame structure and fuel oxidation path variation. The contributions of thermal effects on laminar burning velocities are dominant at lowly oxygen-enriched condition but those of chemical reaction effects become dominant at highly oxygen-enriched condition. Chemical reaction effects caused the additional flame temperature decrease besides thermal effects and oxygen-leakage increase in non-premixed flame. Specific fuel oxidation path and CO production path is enhanced in spite of overall decrement of fuel consumption rate by chemical reaction effects of.
