Effect of AC Electric Field on Combustion Characteristics of Methane/Air Premixed Spherical Flame at High Initial Pressure
To study the effect of applying AC electric field on the natural gas premixed flame at high initial pressures
we used a volume-constant combustion chamber
and the research object was a transient spherical flame of methane/air premixture
aiming at exploring the effects of low-frequency AC electric field and high-frequency AC electric field loaded with an effective voltage 5 kV on the combustion characteristics of methane/air premixed flames in the condition that excess air coefficient-=1.2
temperatureT=298 K and initial pressurep=300 kPa. The results showed that
under low frequency conditions
when the electric field frequencyf=40

the flame propagation speeds increased by17.41%
6.53%
3.99% and 1.54%; the flame combustion pressure peak increased by2.06%
1.73%
1.04% and 0.79%; the time for the mass burning rate reaching 100% shortened by11.96%
