Laminar burning velocity of acetylene-air mixtures by the constant volume method: Dependence on mixture composition, pressure and temperature

Accurate analytical models for fractional pressure rise in constant volume combustion

“…Rallis [10][11][12]. In a later review [13], Rallis and Garforth argue that the constant volume method by that time (1980) is the most reliable method of measuring burning velocities.…”

Burning velocity evaluation from pressure evolution during the early stage of closed-vessel explosions

“…10% for a flame radius r b Z0.20R and less than 5% for r b R0.30R. Flame radius values up to r b !0.40R are usually reached during the cvasi-isobaric propagation period of a flame where Dp%0.02p 0 , as shown by synchronous records of pressure and flame radius in a spherical vessel (Rallis, Garforth, & Steinz, 1965). We may, therefore, consider that our actual values of burning velocities, calculated from cubic law Table 3 Burning velocities of propylene-air mixtures at ambient initial temperature and pressure, calculated from overall constants of the cubic law, k 2 , according to the Eqs.…”

Burning Velocity of Propane–Air Mixtures from Pressure–Time Records during Explosions in a Closed Spherical Vessel

“…The present paper examines a procedure for normal burning velocity calculation from transient pressure records in a closed spherical vessel by means of a simple model for the burnt mass fraction. , The validity of this model was tested earlier on literature results reported by Rallis et al referring to two acetylene–air mixtures, when a fair agreement was found between calculated and measured flame radii and calculated and measured burning velocities, respectively. The model was used for the determination of the normal burning velocities of propylene–air and propylene–air–inert mixtures, , when only pressure records were made; the burning velocities agreed well with the literature data obtained by other experimental techniques.…”
