Mechanism Analysis on the Effect of Low-Frequency AC Electric Field on CH4/Air Premixed Flame
The alternating electric field can promote flame combustion
and research shows that the promotion effect of low-frequency AC electric field on premixed flame is mainly based on the collision between particles in the flame. In order to further explore the effect mechanism of the particles in the flame under electric field
premixed methane/air flame ionization model was established to obtain the concentration distribution of the particles in the combustion process and calculate the developing degree of bi-ionic wind. Simulation results were compared with the experimental data. The results showed tha
t the spherically flame was horizontally stretched obviously when low-frequency AC field was applied. As the frequency increases
the average flame propagation velocity (-overS)
L
and pressure peak P
max
decrease gradually. Simulation results also showed that the developing degree of bi-ionic wind ξ
eff
decreases with the frequency
and the correlation coefficients of linear fitting of the average flame propagation velocity Δ(-overS)
L
and the pressure peak increase rate ΔP
max
with the developing degree of bi-ionic wind ξ
eff
are 0.995 82 and 0.919 96
respectively. The parameter ξ
eff
is closely related to the promotion of flame by the electric field. There is a direct relationship between the collisions of particles in the flame front and the macroscopic stretch of the flame under the applied electric field. The bi-ionic wind effect based on the particles collision is the primary promotion of the low-frequency AC electric field on the premixed flame.
