Abstract
To investigate the performance of CO2as a flame suppressant in practical hydrogen deflagration scenarios, experiments are conducted in a constant-volume combustion chamber to study the explosion and combustion characteristics of H2-air-CO2turbulent mixtures with varying CO2fractions in a confined space. Explosion combustion parameters are obtained, and the effects of CO2concentration and turbulence intensity are systematically analyzed. An empirical formula linking the deflagration index to pressure rise time is established. The results show that increased CO2fraction reduces both flame propagation speed and total mixture energy, leading to significant decreases in explosion pressure and pressure rise rate. When CO2 fraction increases from 0% to 30%, explosion pressure decreases by 32. 6%, and maximum pressure rise rate decreases by 77. 7%. Heat loss remains largely unchanged, resulting in negligible variation between adiabatic pressure and experimental maximum explosion pressure. Under constant equivalence ratio and CO2fraction, increased turbulence intensity has little effect on maximum explosion pressure, while the maximum pressure rise rate increases significantly, and heat loss decreases, reducing the difference between adiabatic pressure and experimental maximum explosion pressure. For example, at an equivalence ratio of 1.0 and CO2fraction of 30%, as turbulence velocity increases from 0 to 2.715 m/s, maximum pressure rise rate increases by 179%, and the difference between adiabatic pressure and experimental maximum explosion pressure decreases by 7.2%.
