Intermediate BTU gas global flame kinetics
The ability to develop reliable predictions for synthetic natural gas mixtures and the ability to design burners for these gas mixtures remain a key issue for the uses of low- and intermediate-Btu gas. Numerous methods for assessing interchangeability have been used over the years. For the most part, these are empirical and reasonably useful methods; i.e., indices for lift, flashback, yellow-typing. In an attempt to approach this problem from a more fundamental point of view, the authors have been studying, for the past few years, ways of combining some of the more fundamental combustion properties of flames, such as global rates of reaction, flashback, quenching distance and burning velocity. This paper presents some more recent results where they have developed the global kinetics for some ternary fuel systems CH/sub 4/ - H/sub 2/ - CO and natural gas H/sub 2/O - CO and have correlated these flame data and other plug flow data with burning velocity data.
