利用数值模拟手段研究了等离子助燃对氢气一空气混合物燃烧的影响,分析了在不同的初始条件(温度、压力、当量比)下的燃烧过程的变化规律。计算结果表明,等离子体助燃与传统燃烧相比,可增加化学反应过程中的活性中间体,提高化学反应速率;火焰传播速度在同等条件下增大、最小点火能量下降、特征时间减小,助燃效果非常明显。
The influence of plasma assisted combustion on hydrogen-air mixture is investigated and the variation laws of parameter in combustion process are studied by numerical simulation, under different initial conditions. The results show that plasma assisted combustion could stimulate active intermediate in chemical reaction and speed up chemical reaction as well as the process of flame-propagating. Apart from that, minimal ignition energy and character time would be reduced. The evident effect of assisted combustion is thus proved.
