... its thermal, kinetic, and transport effects on turbulent flames. Therefore, in this study, methane/air mixtures diluted with CO 2 are experimentally investigated in a reactor-assisted turbulent slot (RATS) burner using OH planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) measurements. CO 2 addition is tested...

..., called double-fuel (DF) combustion: the addition of methane to gasoline allows to run the engine with stoichiometric air even at full load, without knocking phenomena, increasing engine efficiency of about 26% and cutting pollutant emissions by 90%. The introduction of DF combustion into series...

...Hongli Xu; Xishi Wang; Rui Gu; Heping Zhang This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of methane–coal-dust mixture explosion and its mitigation by ultra-fine water mist. Four E12-1-K-type fast response thermocouples, two printed circuit board (PCB...

... and spontaneous-ignition operation may be preferable. The main objective of this research was to provide fundamental data for the ignition and combustion of hydrogen, natural gas, and methane. Experiments were conducted in a constant-volume combustion vessel to investigate the effects of ambient temperature...
