Shock-tube experiments and chemical kinetics modeling were performed to further understand the ignition and oxidation kinetics of lean methane-based fuel blends at gas turbine pressures. Such data are required because the likelihood of gas turbine engines operating on CH4-based fuel blends with significant (>10%) amounts of hydrogen, ethane, and other hydrocarbons is very high. Ignition delay times were obtained behind reflected shock waves for fuel mixtures consisting of CH4, CH4∕H2, CH4∕C2H6, and CH4∕C3H8 in ratios ranging from 90/10% to 60/40%. Lean fuel/air equivalence ratios (ϕ=0.5) were utilized, and the test pressures ranged from 0.54 to 30.0atm. The test temperatures were from 1090K to 2001K. Significant reductions in ignition delay time were seen with the fuel blends relative to the CH4-only mixtures at all conditions. However, the temperature dependence (i.e., activation energy) of the ignition times was little affected by the additives for the range of mixtures and temperatures of this study. In general, the activation energy of ignition for all mixtures except the CH4∕C3H8 one was smaller at temperatures below approximately1300K(∼27kcal∕mol) than at temperatures above this value (∼41kcal∕mol). A methane/hydrocarbon–oxidation chemical kinetics mechanism developed in a recent study was able to reproduce the high-pressure, fuel-lean data for the fuel/air mixtures. The results herein extend the ignition delay time database for lean methane blends to higher pressures (30atm) and lower temperatures (1100K) than considered previously and represent a major step toward understanding the oxidation chemistry of such mixtures at gas turbine pressures. Extrapolation of the results to gas turbine premixer conditions at temperatures less than 800K should be avoided however because the temperature dependence of the ignition time may change dramatically from that obtained herein.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of fuel blending of petroleum diesel and biodiesel made from Philippine Tung on the combustion characteristics of fuel droplets. In this study, petroleum diesel was mixed with biodiesel at volume percentages of 0 to 100 % to produce 5 fuel blends. The ratios of fuel blends (petroleum volume/biodiesel volume) were 100:0 (P100), 75:25 (BP25), 50:50 (BP50), 25:75 (BP75) and 0:100 (B100). Single droplet combustion experiments were prepared to understand the combustion characteristics at 3 levels of ambient pressure (100, 200 and 300 kPa). Observations were carried out on the ignition delay time, the burning rate constant, droplet temperature, and the flame visualization. The results showed some effects of the adding of biodiesel in petroleum diesel and the chamber pressure on droplet combustion characteristics.  The adding of biodiesel into petroleum diesel resulted in a shorter ignition delay time and higher burning rate constants. But, the lower heating value of biodiesel caused the lower flame temperature. The possibility of micro-explosion also increased due to the mixing of fuel. On the other hand, increasing the chamber pressure also resulted in shorter ignition delay, higher burning rate, and higher combustion temperature. The higher ambient pressure also compressed the flame dimension and enhanced the onset of micro-explosion. HIGHLIGHTS The adding of biodiesel into petroleum diesel with different physical and chemical properties impacts the droplet combustion behavior, especially on the characteristics of burning rate, ignition delay time, flame temperature, and micro explosion The high content of unsaturated fatty acids and oxygen in Philippine Tung biodiesel improves the ignition delay time and burning rate constants of the blended fuel, but, the lower heating value causes the lower flame temperature The multi-components of fatty acids with different boiling points in Philippine Tung oil promote the micro-explosion in the combustion of the mixtures of biodiesel and petroleum diesel fuel GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

The paper presents the results of ignition and thermal behavior for samples of high-energy materials (HEM) based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) and ammonium nitrate (AN), active binder and powders of Al, B, AlB2, and TiB2. A CO2 laser with a heat flux density range of 90-200 W/cm2 was used for studies of ignition. The activation energy and characteristics of ignition for the HEM samples were determined. Also, the ignition delay time and the surface temperature of the reaction layer during the heating and ignition for the HEM samples were determined. It was found that the complete replacement of micron-sized aluminum powder by amorphous boron in a HEM sample leads to a considerable decrease in the ignition delay time by a factor of 2.2-2.8 at the same heat flux density due to high chemical activity and the difference in the oxidation mechanisms of boron particles. The use of aluminum diboride in a HEM sample allows one to reduce the ignition delay time of a HEM sample by a factor of 1.7-2.2. The quasi-stationary ignition temperature is the same for the AlB2-based and AlB12-based HEM samples.
