...N. J. Moore; S. D. Terry; K. M. Lyons Presented are the results of experiments designed to investigate flame lift-off behavior in the hysteresis regime for low Reynolds number turbulent flows. The hysteresis regime refers to the situation where the jet flame has dual positions favorable to flame...

...Enrico Sciubba; Nicola Zeoli A numerical three-dimensional (3D) simulation was performed on the flow of a particle-laden steam jet impinging on the tubes of the superheating section of a waste-burning industrial boiler: the study was conducted to investigate the causes of excessive erosion...

...S. D. Terry; K. M. Lyons A study of the characteristics of turbulent lifted-jet flames in the hysteresis regime was performed using methane and ethylene fuels in laminar and turbulent air coflows. Reattachment velocities and lifted flame heights just prior to reattachment vary linearly...

...Tracy Smith; Chendhil Periasamy; Benjamin Baird; S. R. Gollahalli Relative effects of buoyancy and momentum on the characteristics of horizontally oriented circular (Circ) and elliptic (E) burner flames in a quiescent environment over a wide range of jet exit velocities are presented. The major...

.... An experimental campaign was carried out to identify the distribution of the pressure in the rotary ducts of the turbine. The results indicate the presence of a pressure gradient in the immediate vicinity of the inlet jet that is strongly attenuated when the ducts are not directly in contact with the jet...

... with parallel injection jets for oxygen and natural gas, (ii) a staged combustion process with a divergent jet for the oxygen, and (iii) a non-staged combustion process, with parallel jets. In all the cases, the injections were directed towards the aluminum bath, which was maintained at constant temperature...

...S. R. Gollahalli, Fellow ASME; D. Pardiwalla This study was directed to understand the coupling effects of the noncircular geometry of the burner and a crossflow on the combustion of gas jets. This paper compares the characteristics of turbulent propane jet flames from circular (diameter=0.45 cm...

...K. M. Lyons; K. A. Watson Results are presented on the formation of a diffusion flame in a methane nonpremixed jet following the propagation of partially premixed combustion. An initially nonreacting turbulent methane jet (Re=2700) in quiescent air is ignited at a downstream location x / d = 70...

...Azfar Kamal; S. R. Gollahalli, Fellow ASME An investigation of the effects of burner exit Reynolds number on the relative effects of burner geometry (circular and elliptic with an aspect ratio 2:4) in a propane jet flame is presented. Circular and elliptic burners of the equivalent area...

.... A propane jet diffusion flame at a burner-exit Reynolds number of 5100 was examined with a set of venturis of specific sizes and spacing arrangement. The venturi-cascading technique resulted in a decrease of 33 percent in NO emission index along with a 24-percent decrease in soot emission from the flame...

... and predict jet fuel oxidation and the resulting surface deposition. Detailed multi-dimensional numerical simulations are useful in understanding interactions between the fluid dynamics and fuel chemistry. Unfortunately, the detailed simulation of an entire fuel system is impractical. One-dimensional...
