Basic concepts
Experiments (Lewis & von Elbe, 1987) show that a minimum energy (Emin) (not just minimum T or volume) required for ignition
Emin lowest near stoichiometric (typically 0.2 mJ) but minimum shifts to richer mixtures for higher HCs (why? Stay tuned…)
Prediction of Emin relevant to energy conversion and fire safety applications

Basic concepts
Emin related to need to create flame kernel with dimension () large enough that chemical reaction (w) can exceed conductive loss rate (/2), thus > (/w)1/2 ~ /(w)1/2 ~ /SL ~
Emin ~ energy contained in volume of gas with T ≈ Tad and radius ≈ ≈ 4/SL

Predictions of simple Emin formula
Since ~ P-1, Emin ~ P-2 if SL is independent of P Emin ≈ 100,000 times larger in a He-diluted than SF6-diluted
mixture with same SL, same P (due to and k [thermal conductivity] differences)
Stoichiometric CH4-air @ 1 atm: predicted Emin ≈ 0.010 mJ ≈ 30x times lower than experiment (due to chemical kinetics, heat losses, shock losses …)
… but need something more (Lewis number effects): 10% H2-air (SL ≈ 10 cm/sec): predicted Emin ≈ 0.3 mJ = 2.5 times
higher than experiments Lean CH4-air (SL ≈ 5 cm/sec): Emin ≈ 5 mJ compared to ≈ 5000mJ for
lean C3H8-air with same SL - but prediction is same for both

Predictions of simple Emin formula Emin ~ 3∞
hard to measure, but quenching distance (q) (min. tube diameter through which flame can propagate) should be ~ since Pelim = SL,lim
q/ ~ q/ ≈ 40 ≈ constant, thus should have Emin ~ q3P
Correlation so-so

More rigorous approach Assumptions: 1D spherical; ideal gases; adiabatic (except for
ignition source Q(r,t)); 1 limiting reactant (e.g. very lean or rich); 1-step overall reaction; D, k, CP, etc. constant; low Mach #; no body forces
Governing equations for mass, energy & species conservations (y = limiting reactant mass fraction; QR = its heating value)

More rigorous approach Non-dimensionalize (note Tad = T∞ + Y∞QR/CP)
leads to, for mass, energy and species conservation
with boundary conditions(Initial condition: T = T∞, y = y∞,
U = 0 everywhere)
(At infinite radius, T = T∞, y = y∞,
U = 0 for all times)
(Symmetry condition at r = 0 for all times)

Steady (?!?) solutions If reaction is confined to a thin zone near r = RZ (large )
This is a flame ball solution - note for Le < > 1, T* > < Tad; for Le = 1, T* = Tad and RZ =
Generally unstable R < RZ: shrinks and extinguishes R > RZ: expands and develops into steady flame RZ related to requirement for initiation of steady flame - expect Emin ~ Rz

… but stable for a few carefully (or accidentally) chosen mixtures

Energy requirement very strongly dependent on Lewis number! 10% increase in Le: 2.5x increase in Emin (PDR); 2.2x (Tromans &
Furzeland)

Lewis number effects
Ok, so why does min. MIE shift to richer mixtures for higher HCs? Leeffective = effective/Deffective
Deff = D of stoichiometrically limiting reactant, thus for lean mixtures Deff = Dfuel; rich mixtures Deff = DO2
Lean mixtures - Leeffective = Lefuel
Mostly air, so eff ≈ air; also Deff = Dfuel
CH4: DCH4 > air since MCH4 < MN2&O2 thus LeCH4 < 1, thus Leeff < 1 Higher HCs: Dfuel < air, thus Leeff > 1 - much higher MIE
Rich mixtures - Leeffective = LeO2
CH4: CH4 > air since MCH4 < MN2&O2, so adding excess CH4 INCREASES Leeff
Higher HCs: fuel < air since Mfuel > MN2&O2, so adding excess fuel DECREASES Leeff
Actually adding excess fuel decreases both and D, but decreases more

Dynamic analysis RZ is related (but not equal) to an ignition requirement Joulin (1985) analyzed unsteady equations for Le < 1
(, and q are the dimensionless radius, time and heat input) and found at the optimal ignition duration
which has the expected form
Emin ~ {energy per unit volume} x {volume of minimal flame kernel} ~ {adCp(Tad - T∞)} x {Rz

14AME 514 - Spring 2015 - Lecture 2
Effect of spark gap & duration
Expect “optimal” ignition duration ~ ignition kernel time scale ~ RZ2/
Duration too long - energy wasted after kernel has formed and propagated away - Emin ~ t1
Duration too short - larger shock losses, larger heat losses to electrodes due to high T kernel
Expect “optimal” ignition kernel size ~ kernel length scale ~ RZ
Size too large - energy wasted in too large volume - Emin ~ R3
Size too small - larger heat losses to electrodes

Effect of flow environment Mean flow or random flow (i.e. turbulence) (e.g. inside IC engine or
gas turbine) increases stretch, thus Emin

Effect of ignition source Laser ignition sources higher than sparks despite lower heat losses, less
asymmetrical flame kernel - maybe due to higher shock losses with shorter duration laser source?
