Abstract
This research's objective is to investigate the reactions of hydrogen enrichment of methane combustions, and to study the flame stabilization location and the production of emissions. The main parameter the investigation focuses on is the flame stabilization found through chemiluminescence. The testing will be conducted at different ratios of hydrogen to methane, and then also testing the different mixtures at various levels of air to fuel. The hydrogen/methane mixture entering the flow can be set to three modes of fully premixed, non-mixed, or partially mixed depending on the orientation of the gas injector. This will show the correlation of the addition of hydrogen to the changes of ignition location, flame stabilization, adiabatic flame temperature, and emissions; all characteristics that will be analyzed by the experiment.
