The simulation results
used the CHEMKIN/PREMIX
code to explore the combustion characteristics of n-heptane/hydrogen/air flame. The initial temperature is set as 300
K, the pressures are set as 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 atm, and the equivalence
ratios are set as 0.8–1.4. This research mainly focuses on the
characteristic of flame, radicals, and temperature sensitivity of
the H radical. The results show that the simulation results maintain
the consistency of the experimental results, and other mechanism simulation
results and the tendency are same. The changes of laminar burning velocity (LBV) are obvious when hydrogen (H2) is mixed, but the influence
of H2 addition on adiabatic flame temperature is greater
slightly than that on LBV. The sensitivity analysis of the H radical
shows that the release of the H radical will compete with n-heptane for oxygen when the H2 doping ratio
is increased. With the pressure rise, the chemical reaction of H2O strengthens the inhibition of H sensitivity. Hydrogen addition
does not change the main reaction of hydrocarbon fuels. H + O2 ⇔ O + OH and H2O + M ⇔ H + OH +
M are also the exothermic reaction and endothermic reactions, respectively,
which are the uppermost.
