Numerical and experimental analysis of the effect of adding water electrolysis products on the laminar burning velocity and stability of lean premixed methane/air flames at sub-atmospheric pressures
This paper presents a study of CH4/Air/H2/O2 premixed laminar flames using a ratio of H2/O2 equal to 2/1. This gas mixture represents the products of the electrolysis of water. To date, only numerical analysis has been carried out on these kinds of blends and using H2/O2 percentages of only up to 10% by volume. Furthermore, there have been no reports of experimental analysis or possible flame instabilities associated with the enrichment of the mix with H2/O2.
