Experiments in a constant pressure combustion chamber at room temperature and elevated pressures using schlieren system were conducted to investigate the cellular instabilities in hydrogen/carbon monoxide/methane (or propane)–air premixed flames. In the present study, hydrodynamic and diffusional-thermal instabilities were evaluated to elucidate their effects to flame instabilities. Effective Lewis numbers of premixed flames with methane addition decrease for all of the cases. Meanwhile, the effective Lewis numbers with propane addition increase for lean and stoichiometric conditions, but they increase for rich and stoichiometric cases for hydrogen-enriched flames. With propane addition, the propensity for cells formation is significantly diminished whereas the cellular instabilities for hydrogen enriched flames are promoted. With methane addition, the similar behavior of cellularity is obtained, indicating that methane is not a candidate for suppressing cells formation in hydrogen/carbon monoxide/methane–air premixed flames.

1 The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicological influence of tobacco smoke on fertility and reproduction of Wistar female rats. The influence of tobacco smoke from the Polish ‘Popularne’ cigarette brand was studied. The experiment was conducted on three generations of animals, each generation having two litters. The initial number of animals of the parent generation FO was 192 (128 females and 64 males). Animals were passively exposed to tobacco smoke in three different concentrations based on the content of carbon monoxide (500, 1000 and 1500 mg of CO per cubic meter of air). Animals were exposed to tobacco smoke for 6 h a day, 5 days a week, during 11 weeks. 2 The analysis of indices of mating and fertility revealed the decrease in those indices with animals exposed to tobacco smoke. We also observed an increased number of mothers breading among animals exposed to tobacco smoke. In animals exposed to tobacco smoke, the dose-effect or dose-response dependencies for mating, fertility and delivery indices were found. There was no influence of tobacco smoke on the duration of pregnancy. 3 Tobacco smoke inhalation caused increased levels of carboxyhaemoglobin. 4 Tobacco smoke did not change the duration of pregnancy in rats.

In order to investigate the effects of nitrogen dilution on combustion behaviour of syngas flames, a model combustor with optical access for swirl non-premixed flames was developed. Experimental results from planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) of OH and particle image velocimetry (PIV) are presented. The syngas consists of hydrogen and carbon monoxide of volume fraction ratio kept at 0.78. Up to 60 per cent (by volume) of nitrogen was added into syngas, as well as reference fuels including methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, for dilution. Flow fields obtained by PIV reveal that the averaged typical swirling flow structure is not influenced by dilution content, which has more effect on turbulence intensities in recirculation zones and shear layers. Additionally, analysis of reaction zones and regions of burnt gas from OH-PLIF measurement shows that although syngas flame burns closer to fuel spray exit than methane, the latter shows more combustion stability, probably because of the different stabilization mechanisms for these two flames. With less support from hot burned gases in recirculation zones, the content of hydrogen plays a crucial role in syngas flame stabilization. Experimental results also imply that the increase of dilution content in fuel leads to less flame opening angle and thinner flame base.
