Title

High Pressure Ignition Delay Times Measurements And Comparison Of The Performance Of Several Oxy-Syngas Mechanisms Under High Co2 Dilution

Abstract

In this study, syngas combustion was investigated behind reflected shock waves in CO2 bath gas to measure ignition delay times and to probe the effects of CO2 dilution. New syngas data were taken between pressures of 34.58-45.50 atm and temperatures of 1113-1275K. This study provides experimental data for syngas combustion in CO2 diluted environments: ignition studies in a shock tube (59 data points in 10 datasets). In total, these mixtures covered a range of temperatures T, pressures P, equivalence ratios φ, H2/CO ratio θ, and CO2 diluent concentrations. Multiple syngas combustion mechanisms exist in the literature for modelling ignition delay times and their performance can be assessed against data collected here. In total, twelve mechanisms were tested and presented in this work. All mechanisms need improvements at higher pressures for accurately predicting the measured ignition delay times. At lower pressures, some of the models agreed relatively well with the data. Some mechanisms predicted ignition delay times which were 2 orders of magnitudes different from the measurements. This suggests there is behavior that has not been fully understood on the kinetic models and are inaccurate in predicting CO2 diluted environments for syngas combustion. To the best of our knowledge, current data are the first syngas ignition delay times measurements close to 50 atm under highly CO2 diluted (85% per vol.) conditions.
