Abstract Carbon monoxide time-histories and ignition delay times were measured in carbon dioxide diluted methane mixtures behind reflected shockwaves. Experiments were performed around 2 atm for a temperature range between 1650–2000 K. The experiments were performed for a mixture of XCH4 = 0.5%, XO2 = 1.0%, XCO2 = 8.5%, XAr = 90.0%. The mixture was chosen to minimize energy release during the experiment and a minimum of 2 ms was recorded for all experiments. The carbon monoxide time-histories were measured using a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technique and measuring the absorbance at two different wavelengths to isolate the impact of carbon monoxide on the absorbance. Carbon monoxide was measured at a wavelength of 4886.94 nm while the interfering species was measured at 4891.17 nm. Each experiment was performed twice, with the pressure and temperature before combustion being matched to within the experimental uncertainty of the two experiments. The ignition delay times were measured using OH* radical emission to determine the time-scales of the experiments. All experiments were compared to detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms that can be found in the literature. The experimental results show that the detailed mechanisms from the literature were able to accurately predict the general profile of the carbon monoxide time-histories but under-predicted maximum concentration of CO being formed at these conditions.

Ignition delay times and methane species time-histories were measured for methane/O2 mixtures in a high CO2 diluted environment using shock tube and laser absorption spectroscopy. The experiments were performed between 1300 K and 2000 K at pressures between 1 and 31 atm. The experimental mixtures were conducted at an equivalence ratio of 1 with CH4 mole fractions ranging from 3.5%–5% and up to 85% CO2 with a bath of argon gas as necessary. The ignition delay times and methane time histories were measured using pressure, emission, and laser diagnostics. Predictive ability of two literature kinetic mechanisms (GRI 3.0 and ARAMCO Mech 1.3) was tested against current data. In general, both mechanisms performed reasonably well against ignition delay time data. The methane time-histories showed good agreement with the mechanisms for most of the conditions measured. A correlation for ignition delay time was created taking into the different parameters showing that the ignition activation energy for the fuel to be 49.64 kcal/mol. Through a sensitivity analysis, CO2 is shown to slow the overall reaction rate and increase the ignition delay time. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first shock tube data during ignition of methane under these conditions. Current data provides crucial validation data needed for development of future methane/CO2 kinetic mechanisms.

Abstract Ignition delay times were measured for methane/O2 mixtures in a high dilution environment of either CO2 or N2 using a shock tube facility. Experiments were performed between 1044 K and 1356 K at pressures near 16 ± 2 atm. Test mixtures had an equivalence ratio of 1.0 with 16.67% CH4, 33.33% O2, and 50% diluent. Ignition delay times were measured using OH* emission and pressure time-histories. Data were compared to the predictions of two literature kinetic mechanisms (ARAMCO MECH 2.0 and GRI Mech 3.0). Most experiments showed inhomogeneous (mild) ignition which was deduced from five time-of-arrival pressure transducers placed along the driven section of the shock tube. Further analysis included determination of blast wave velocities and locations away from the end wall of initial detonations. Blast velocities were 60–80% of CJ-Detonation calculations. A narrow high temperature region within the range was identified as showing homogenous (strong) ignition which showed generally good agreement with model predictions. Model comparisons with mild ignition cases should not be used to further refine kinetic mechanisms, though at these conditions, insight was gained into various ignition behavior. To the best of our knowledge, we present first shock tube data during ignition of high fuel loading CH4/O2 mixtures diluted with CO2 and N2.

Ignition delay times and methane species time-histories were measured for methane/O2 mixtures in a high CO2 diluted environment using shock tube and laser absorption spectroscopy. The experiments were performed between 1300 K and 2000 K at pressures between 6 and 31 atm. The test mixtures were at an equivalence ratio of 1 with CH4 mole fractions ranging from 3.5% to 5% and up to 85% CO2 with a bath of argon gas as necessary. The ignition delay times and methane time histories were measured using pressure, emission, and laser diagnostics. Predictive ability of two literature kinetic mechanisms (gri 3.0 and aramco mech 1.3) was tested against current data. In general, both mechanisms performed reasonably well against measured ignition delay time data. The methane time-histories showed good agreement with the mechanisms for most of the conditions measured. A correlation for ignition delay time was created taking into account the different parameters showing the ignition activation energy for the fuel to be 49.64 kcal/mol. Through a sensitivity analysis, CO2 is shown to slow the overall reaction rate and increase the ignition delay time. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first shock tube data during ignition of methane/CO2/O2 under these conditions. Current data provides crucial validation data needed for the development of future kinetic mechanisms.
