Gravitational influences on flame propagation through non-uniform premixed gas systems Conference Paper

abstract

• An apparatus for measuring flame spread rates through non-homogeneous fuel-air mixtures as a function of layer thickness and concentration has been developed. The layer thickness is adjusted by controlling the diffusion time above a fuel-saturated porous media while the concentration is controlled by the fuel temperature. Normal gravity tests with methanol have explored the effects of temperature, as well as the effects of various aspects of the apparatus. The design includes schlieren measurement system to quantitatively measure fuel vapor concentrations in the static case and a capability for high-speed cinematography.
