Abstract
In this experiment,the macrostructure and blow-off characteristics of the compact lean premixed NH3/air and NH3/CH4/air flames stabilized on a bluff-body and swirl burner were studied. Premixed CH4/air flame was also used for comparison. Particle imaging velocimetry(PIV)and the hydroxyl planar laser-induced fluorescence(OH-PLIF)synchronous measurement techniques were used to capture the flow field and instantaneous OH distribution,and the flame-flow coupling information was obtained. The results show that the flow excessive stretching on the NH3/air flame surface is the main reason for the local extinguishment and the overall blow-off of the flame. Excessive stretching and local extinction also occur at the root of NH3/CH4/air flame near the blow-off,which will lead to the final blow-off of the flame. The main reason for excessive stretching is flow shear deformation. The inner shear layer vortex of the NH3/air flame will further promote the flame blow-off. Blending CH4 can greatly improve the extinction strain rate,enhance the stability of lean flame and broaden the lean blow-off limit. At the same time,the addition of CH4 can also increase the burning velocity and flame temperature,which is conducive to stabilizing the flame.
