An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the flame acceleration in closed pipe. A horizontal steel pipe, with 2 m long and 0.1 m diameter, giving L/D ratio of 20 was used in this project. For test with 90 degree bends, the bend has a radius of 0.1 m and added a further 1 m to the length of the pipe (based on the centerline length of the segment). Ignition was affected at one end of the vessel while the other end was closed. Natural gas/oxygen mixtures were studied with equivalence ratio, Ф ranges from 0.5 to 1.8. It was demonstrated that bending pipe gave three times higher in overpressure (5.5 bars) compared to 2.0 bars of straight pipe. It is also shown that the flame speed is 63 m s-1, greater by factor of ~ 3 for explosion in bending pipe in comparison with straight pipe (23 m s-1). This is due to bending acting similar to obstacles. This mechanism could induce and create more turbulence, initiating the combustion of unburned pocket at the corner region, causing high mass burning rate and hence, increasing the flame speed.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
