The rate-controlled constrained-equilibrium (RCCE) method is a reduction technique based on local maximization of entropy or minimization of a relevant free energy at any time during the nonequilibrium evolution of the system subject to a set of kinetic constraints. In this paper, RCCE has been used to predict ignition delay times of low temperatures methane/air mixtures in shock tube. A new thermodynamic model along with RCCE kinetics has been developed to model thermodynamic states of the mixture in the shock tube. Results are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements.

Sequential Images

An aerosol shock tube has been developed for measuring the ignition delay times (tig) of aerosol mixtures of low-vapor-pressure fuels and for visualization of the auto-ignition flow-field. The aerosol mixture was formed in a premixing tank through an atomizing nozzle. Condensation and adsorption of suspended droplets were not observed significantly in the premixing tank and test section. A particle size analyzer was used to measure the Sauter mean diameter (SMD) of the aerosol droplets. Three pressure sensors and a photomultiplier were used to detect local pressure and OH emission respectively. Intensified charge-coupled device cameras were used to capture sequential images of the auto-ignition flow-field. The results indicated that stable and uniform aerosol could be obtained by this kind of atomizing method and gas distribution system. The averaged SMD for droplets of toluene ranged from 2 to 5 μ m at pressures of 0.14–0.19 MPa of dilute gases. In the case of a stoichiometric mixture of toluene/O2/N2, ignition delay times ranged from 77 to 1330 μs at pressures of 0.1–0.3 MPa, temperatures of 1432–1716 K and equivalence ratios of 0.5–1.5. The logarithm of ignition delay times was approximately linearly correlated to 1000/T. In contrast to the reference data, ignition delay times of aerosol toluene/O2/N2 were generally larger. Sequential images of auto-ignition flow-field showed the features of flame from generation to propagation.
