Ignition during hydrogen release from high pressure into the atmosphere

The first investigations concerned with a problem of hydrogen jet ignition, during outflow from a high-pressure vessel were carried out nearly 40 years ago by Wolanski and Wojcicki. The research resulted from a dramatic accident in the Chorzow Chemical Plant Azoty, where the explosion of a synthesis gas made up of a mixture composed of three moles of hydrogen per mole of nitrogen, at 300°C and 30 MPa killed four people. Initial investigation had excluded potential external ignition sources and the main aim of the research was to determine the cause of ignition. Hydrogen is currently considered as a potential fuel for various vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, etc. Crucial safety issues are of potential concern, associated with the storage of hydrogen at a very high pressure. Indeed, the evidence obtained nearly 40 years ago shows that sudden rupture of a high-pressure hydrogen storage tank or other component can result in ignition and potentially explosion. The aim of the present research is identification of the conditions under which hydrogen ignition occurs as a result of compression and heating of the air by the shock wave generated by discharge of high-pressure hydrogen. Experiments have been conducted using a facility constructed in the Combustion Laboratory of the Institute of Heat Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. Tests under various configurations have been performed to determine critical conditions for occurrence of high-pressure hydrogen ignition. The results show that a critical pressure exists, leading to ignition, which depends mainly on the geometric configuration of the outflow system, such as tube diameter, and on the presence of obstacles.

Experimental and computational studies of shock wave-to-bubbly water momentum transfer

Momentum transfer from shock waves (SWs) of various intensity (from 0.05 MPa to 0.5 MPa in amplitude) to water containing air bubbles 2.5 to 4 mm of mean diameter is studied both experimentally and by means of numerical simulation. Experiments are performed in a vertical shock tube of a 50 × 100 mm² rectangular cross section consisting of a 495-mm long high-pressure section (HPS), 495-mm long low-pressure section (LPS), and 990 mm long test section (TS) equipped with an air bubbler and filled with water. Experiments have shown that as the initial gas volume fraction in water increases from 0 to 0.3 the momentum imparted in bubbly water by SWs increases monotonically, gradually levelling off at an air volume fraction of about 0.30. The experimental data are confirmed by two-dimensional (2D) simulation of SW propagation in bubbly water in terms of the SW velocity versus the air content, pressure profiles, as well as liquid and gas velocity behind the shock front.     

Pressure and friction dependent mechanical strength – cracks and plastic flow

The mechanical properties of a polymer composite plastic bonded explosive, EDC37, have been investigated as a function of hydrostatic confining pressure between 0.1 and 138 MPa. The results indicate different failure processes in two pressure ranges, a low pressure range between about 0.1 and 7 MPa and a higher pressure range between about 7 and 138 MPa. In the low pressure range slow crack processes are important in failure while in the higher pressure range plastic flow dominates. The pressure dependence of the compressive strength in the low pressure range is attributed to coulomb friction between surfaces of closed shear cracks and from the observed linear increase of the strength with pressure and the angle of the fracture plane a friction coefficient is obtained. Friction coefficients can also be obtained from the ratio of the compressive to tensile strength and directly from the above angle. The friction coefficients obtained from these separate observations are in agreement and this is taken as strong evidence for the importance of this friction in determining strength and mechanical failure. These results clearly establish experimentally the role of friction in determining strength with or without applied pressure. An empirical relationship between strength, pressure and strain rate is also obtained for this pressure range and the failure strength of EDC37 is more sensitive to pressure than strain rate.     

Experimental Determination of the Burning Velocity of Mixtures of n-Heptane and Toluene in Engine-like Conditions

Although the burning velocities of fuel-air mixtures have been extensively studied at room temperature and pressure, there is relatively little experimental information available for elevated temperatures and pressures (the so-called engine like conditions). Therefore, the main aim of the present work is to generate accurate experimental burning velocities valid over a range of high unburned gas temperatures and pressures of a variety of mixtures of n-heptane and toluene, varying its proportion by 25% in volume each time. Two experimental combustion facilities have been used and their results compared. One facility consists of a constant volume cylindrical bomb in which Schlieren images can be recorded and used to calculate the flame front development. The second facility is a spherical combustion bomb with centred ignition in which burning velocities are calculated from pressure records by means of a two-zone model. In order to check that the pressure method is reliable, experiments with n-heptane at room temperature and pressure for different equivalence ratios carried out in the spherical combustion bomb were compared with the ones obtained at the same conditions in the cylindrical vessel equipped with the Schlieren technique. Once the validity has been checked, extensive experiments have been carried out for widely varying initial conditions of pressure between 0.3 and 0.7?MPa, temperature between 363?K and 453?K and equivalence ratios from 0.8 to 1.1. Over the ranges studied, by removing the influence of the ignition energy at the earliest stages of combustion and the quenching effects at the later ones, the burning velocities are fitted by a correlation of type $ Cc=Cc_{r}\cdot (T_{ub}/T_{r})^{\varepsilon }\cdot (P/P_{r})^{\beta } $ , where Cc _r , ?? and ?? depend on the equivalence ratio. The ranges of validity of the correlations obtained cover from 370?K to 700?K, from 0.3?MPa to 4.5?MPa, and from 0.8 to 1.1 equivalence ratio. A comparison with previous predicted values is also given.     

Low hydrocarbon mixtures ignition delay times investigation behind reflected shock waves

Ignition delays for low alkanes/oxygen mixtures highly diluted with argon were measured behind a reflected shock wave using ultraviolet emission spectrometry in wide ranges of temperature (1200–2700 K), pressure (0.1–1.8 MPa), equivalence ratio (0.5–2) and dilution (89–99%). For each alkane (methane, ethane and propane), a correlation between ignition delay time, temperature, pressure and concentration is proposed and compared with those obtained in previous studies. This correlation enables the estimation of the delay time with an accuracy better than 20% for all measurement ranges. Results are compared with those from a recent study of the detailed kinetic modelling of the alkane oxidation. Received 12 March 2001 / Accepted 28 August 2001     

Shock tube study of n-decane ignition at low pressures

Ignition delay times for n-decane/O 2 /Ar mixtures were measured behind reflected shock waves using endwall pressure and CH* emission measurements in a heated shock tube. The initial postshock conditions cover pressures of 0.09-0.26 MPa, temperatures of 1 227-1 536 K, and oxygen mole fractions of 3.9%-20.7% with an equivalence ratio of 1.0. The correlation formula of ignition delay dependence on pressure, temperature, and oxygen mole fraction was obtained. The current data are in good agreement with available low-pressure experimental data, and they are then compared with the prediction of a kinetic mechanism. The current measurements extend the kinetic modeling targets for the n-decane combustion at low pressures.     

Tulip flames: changes in shape of premixed flames propagating in closed tubes

 The experimental results that are the subject of this communication provide high-speed schlieren images of the closed-tube flame shape that has come to be known as the tulip flame. The schlieren images, along with in-chamber pressure records, help demonstrate the effects of chamber length, equivalence ratio, and igniter geometry on formation of the tulip flame. The pressure/time records show distinct features which correlate with flame shape changes during the transition to tulip. The measurements indicate that the basic tulip flame formation is a robust phenomenon that depends on little except the overall geometry of the combustion vessel.

Numerical simulation of high pressure release and dispersion of hydrogen into air with real gas model

Hydrogen is a renewable and clean source of energy, and it is a good replacement for the current fossil fuels. Nevertheless, hydrogen should be stored in high-pressure reservoirs to have sufficient energy. An in-house code is developed to numerically simulate the release of hydrogen from a high-pressure tank into ambient air with more accuracy. Real gas models are used to simulate the flow since high-pressure hydrogen deviates from ideal gas law. Beattie–Bridgeman and Abel Noble equations are applied as real gas equation of state. A transport equation is added to the code to calculate the concentration of the hydrogen–air mixture after release. The uniqueness of the code is to simulate hydrogen in air release with the real gas model. Initial tank pressures of up to 70 MPa are simulated.     

The effect of improved satellite line shapes on the argon Heβ spectral feature

The effect of the interference term in the electron broadening of the Li-like satellites to the Ar Heβ line has been investigated in the standard Stark broadening theory. Although the interference term has negligible or small effect on satellite lines with spectator electrons in n = 2 and n = 3 shells, it shows significant narrowing for lines with n = 4 spectator electrons. Nevertheless, the improved n = 4 satellite line shape makes a small difference in the emergent intensity distribution of the composite spectral feature. Accordingly, this change in line shape does not affect previous diagnosis of plasma conditions in Ar-doped ICF implosion cores.     

Numerical research on micro diesel spray characteristics under ultra-high injection pressure by Large Eddy Simulation (LES)

The Large Eddy Simulation model was introduced to study the micro spray characteristics under ultra-high injection pressure (>220 MPa). EFS8400 spray test platform was set up to verify the accuracy of the numerical model. The mechanisms of micro spray characteristics were studied intensively under different injection pressures (180 MPa, 240 MPa) and nozzle diameters (0.1 mm, 0.16 mm). The results indicated that the micro turbulence vortex structures can be captured, especially in the liquid spray core area. Large Eddy Simulation model combined with the small grid size of 0.25 mm show a huge advantage in studying the micro spray characteristics under ultra-high injection pressure; The turbulence vorticity and spray velocity for injection pressure of 240 MPa are more intensive than that of 180 MPa, and also the ultra-high injection pressure can contribute to strong turbulence disturbance between spray and surrounding air, which is helpful to improve the quality of spray; The spray velocity field extended wider for the diameter of 0.16 mm, and also the values of velocity in the spray center is higher than that of the diameter of 0.1 mm; The entrainment vortex appeared at the edge of the large velocity gradient between spray and surrounding air, and the higher velocity gradient for ultra-high injection pressure (240 MPa) between the spray and air is easier to increase the generation of entrainment vortex in the downstream of the spray, which can significantly increase the quality of spray and atomization.     

Spectroscopic observations of Fermi-degenerate aluminum compressed and heated to four times solid density and 20 eV

Shock waves generated by temporally shaped laser ablation compressed and heated Al to ρ = 11 ± 5 g/cm³ and 20 ± 2 eV. The inferred density and temperature demonstrate that highly compressed, Fermi-degenerate plasma can be created by tuning the temporal pulse shape of the laser drive intensity. The density and temperature of these plastic-tamped Al plasmas in the warm dense matter regime were diagnosed using the Stark-broadened, Al 1s–2p absorption spectral line shapes. These observations represent the forefront of opacity measurements for warm dense matter and are important for high energy density physics and inertial confinement fusion.     

Laser-pulse interferometry applied to high-pressure fluid flow in micro channels

The miniaturization of hydraulic systems together with ever increasing static and dynamic fluid pressure as is happening in fuel injection systems leads to complex flow effects with very high local and temporal pressure gradients. System optimization for hydraulic efficiency, components durability or spray formation quality needs the understanding of relevant flow properties. Fluid flow simulation models support such understanding, but with the complex nature of flow conditions, they are in need for precise and comprehensive verification and validation data. This work reports on measurement methods and analysis results for local fluid density and pressure measurements under overall stationary, highly turbulent and cavitating flow conditions in planar, optically accessed, model flow experiments. Laser-pulsed interferometry is applied for the measurement of fluid density fields under high spatial (∼3 μm) and temporal (∼5 ns) resolution. Interferometric imaging and image evaluation techniques provide ensemble mean pressure field data, local pressure fluctuation and differential pressure data. This yields information about local flow features such as flow vortex generation frequency, spatial size and shape of vortices and local pressure distribution inside of vortex structures. Features of bubble collapse process and corresponding pressure shock waves have been observed. The analysis method is applied to a forward-facing step and a target flow geometry. Experimental method, evaluation procedures and results are presented in this paper.     

A ballistic compressor-based experiment for the visualization of liquid propellant jet combustion above 100 MPa

 This paper describes the components and operation of an experimental setup for the visualization of liquid propellant (LP) jet combustion at pressures above 100 MPa. The apparatus consists of an in-line ballistic compressor and LP injector. The ballistic compressor, based on a modified 76 mm gun, provides high-pressure (ca. 55 MPa) clear hot gas for the jet ignition. A piston (projectile) is fired toward a test chamber beyond the barrel’s end, and its rebound is arrested in a transition section that seals the test chamber to the barrel. The LP jet is injected once the piston is restrained, and combustion of the jet further elevates the pressure. At a preset pressure, a disc in the piston ruptures and the combustion gas vents sonically into the barrel. If a monopropellant is used, the jet injection-combustion process then resembles liquid rocket combustion but at very high pressures (ca. 140 MPa). This paper discusses the ballistics of the compression and compares experimental results to those predicted by a numerical model of the apparatus. Experimentally, a pressure of 70 MPa was achieved upon a 12.5 volumetric compression factor by firing a 10 kg piston into 1.04 MPa argon using a charge of 75 g of small-grain M1 propellant.

Experimental analysis of concrete behavior under high confinement: Effect of the saturation ratio

This study focuses on the identification of concrete behavior under severe triaxial loading in order to better evaluate the vulnerability of sensitive infrastructure to near-field detonations or ballistic impacts. For the purpose of reproducing high stress levels with well-controlled loading paths, static tests have been conducted on concrete samples using a triaxial press offering very high capacities (stress levels of around 1 GPa). It is a well-known fact that the concrete drying process is a slow phenomenon. Massive concrete structures, such as bridge piers, dams and nuclear reactors, could retain a quasi-saturated core throughout most of their lifetime, even though their facing dries very quickly. The objective of this article is to evaluate the effect of the saturation ratio on concrete behavior under high confinement; this article will present triaxial test results on concrete samples over a saturation ratio range extending from dried to quasi-saturated concretes. The subsequent analysis of results will show that the saturation ratio exerts a major influence on concrete behavior, particularly on both the concrete strength capacity and shape of the limit state curve for saturation ratios above 50%. This analysis also highlights that while the strength of dried concrete strongly increases with confining pressure, it remains constant over a given confining pressure range for either wet or saturated samples.     

多因素耦合作用对甲烷爆炸特性的影响

为了探究多因素耦合作用对甲烷爆炸特性的影响，采用1.2 L圆柱形爆炸装置，结合自主设计和搭建的可燃气体爆炸试验平台，从最大爆炸压力的角度分析了不同当量比φ(0.6～1.4)、初始温度T₀ (25～200℃)和初始压力p₀(0.1～0.5 MPa)耦合条件对甲烷爆炸特性的影响规律。在此基础上，基于实验获得的最大爆炸压力数据，利用1stOpt构建了甲烷最大爆炸压力与当量比、初始温度和初始压力的非线性回归预测模型。结果表明：在初始温度和初始压力耦合作用下，初始压力越高，初始温度对最大爆炸压力的影响越大；初始温度越高，初始压力对最大爆炸压力的影响越小。在初始压力和当量比耦合作用下，在研究的实验条件范围内，当φ<0.9或φ>1.2时，初始压力越高，最大爆炸压力的变化越显著。在初始温度和当量比耦合作用下，在实验条件范围内，当φ>1.15时，初始温度越高，最大爆炸压力的变化越显著。此外，通过将基于1stOpt预测模型的预测结果与实验测试结果相比较，发现二者之间的相对误差均小于10%，表明该预测模型具有较高的精度和适应性。     

润滑油中微细碳粉颗粒对45~#钢接触疲劳寿命影响的研究

在20~#机械油中添加适量的微细碳粉硬质颗粒可以提高45~#钢(调质处理,HB=300)的接触疲劳寿命。含碳粉油样的调配比例(wt)有两种,即碳粉:分散剂:纯20~#机械油=1:1:100和2:1:100。研究结果表明,在给定的试验条件下,45~#钢于这两种油样中的接触疲劳寿命分别为纯20~#机械油中的2.6倍和5.0倍。作者还就碳粉的作用机理进行了考察,指出添加碳粉之所以能够提高试件的接触疲劳寿命,原因在于它使润滑油的粘度增大及其渗入到疲劳裂纹中减缓了裂纹的扩展
