Ignition Delay Study Of Moist Hydrogen/Oxidizer Mixtures Using A Rapid Compression Machine, Apurba Das, Chih-Jen Sung, Yu Zhang, Gaurav Mittal
Dr. Gaurav Mittal
Autoignition of moist hydrogen/oxidizer mixtures has been studied experimentally using a rapid compression machine (RCM). This work investigated the effect of water addition on ignition delays of stoichiometric hydrogen/oxidizer mixtures in the end of compression temperature range of TC = 907–1048 K at three different end of compression pressures viz. PC = 10 bar (1 MPa), 30 bar (3 MPa), and 70 bar (7 MPa). RCM experiments were conducted with 0%, 10%, and 40% molar percentages of water in the reactive mixture. At PC = 30 bar and 70 bar, the presence of 10% and 40% water vapor was shown …
