Measurements of Laminar Flame Speeds of Alternative Gaseous Fuel Mixtures

Abstract: Global warming and the ever increasing emission levels o f combustion engines have forced the engine manufacturers to look fo r alternative fuels fo r high engine performance and low emissions. Gaseous fuel mixtures such as biogas, syngas, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are new alternative fuels that have great potential to be used with combustion engines. In the present work, laminar flame speeds (S ,j o f alternative fuel mixtures, mainly LPG (60% butane, 20% isobutane, and 20% propane) and methane have b… Show more

“…Consequently, due to the proximity of the NG Lewis number to unity, the turbulent burning velocity of NG flames was enhanced, and hence, the stability of the turbulent NG flames in comparison to LPG flames was improved [38][39][40]. Furthermore, the laminar flame speed of the NG/air mixture at lean equivalence ratio of φ = 0.8 was slightly higher compared to that of the LPG/air mixture [41,42]. Therefore, the NG flames were more stable compared to the LPG flames.…”
