Non premixed Flame Configurations
Laminar Jet Diffusion Flames (Non-premixed Jet Flames)
• Fuel (F) and oxidizer (O) are stored apart.• When combustion is desired, F and O must come
together at the molecular level. • How many molecules of each decides interim and
final products and their temperature.• Staged pre or post reaction mixing and rich and lean
reactions all lead to different products. • Specific strategies such as R-Quench-L, Lean Direct
Injection, Direct Injection-Spark Ignition have emerged.
• Learning the non-premixed flame regime is important.
• Learning about equipment for specific strategies is critical
Nonpremixed flames
• Concept of a conserved scalar is very useful for nonpremixed flames.
• A conserved scalar is a quantity defined such that there are no sink or source terms in the conservation equation for that quantity. (Sink and source terms result from reactions, heat transfer, and work transfer) Quantification of how non-(pre)mixed and when
• Total Energy is a conserved scalar in the absence of net heat loss to or work done on boundaries.
• Elemental Mass Fractions, Fraction of Mass that originated in the fuel stream(s) and Fraction of Mass that originated in the oxidizer stream(s) are all conserved scalars.
Mixture Fraction, Mixedness, Progress Variables,Reaction Fraction, and Reactedness
• In nonpremixed flames species mass fractions very continuously as mixing at the molecular level and chemical reaction occurs.
• Definition of mixture fraction f:
mass of material from fuel stream =
mass of mixture in differential volume elementf
Fuel Mass
+ Mass in products that came from fuel
Independent of the progress ofreaction. That means
CH4+O2 have the same mixturefraction as CO+H2O+H2
Both are f=16/(16+32)=(12+2+2)/(28+18+2)=16/48= 1/3f stoich= 16/16+64= 16/80=0.2
Review of Conserved Scalar, Definition of Mixture Fraction
• Consider the three-"species" reaction:
1 1kg fuel kg oxidizer kg products
• For this system the mixture fraction will be:

Review of Conserved Scalar, Definition of Mixture Fraction
• When kinetic energy is neglected (along with potential energy, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, differential diffusion) we can write a similar equation for the absolute enthalpy:
• These conserved scalar equations, in cylindrical coordinates, will be very useful for our study of laminar non-premixed flames.

Review of Conserved Scalar, Definition of Mixture Fraction
• Consider first the case of a laminar jet of fuel issuing into air
with no chemical reaction. Assuming the air and fuel have the
same density, there is an analytical solution for the flow field
away from the potential core region of the jet.
Solution for a Non-reacting, Constant Density Laminar Jet
Solution for a Non-reacting, Constant Density Laminar Jet
- MW(jet fluid) = MW(air), ideal gases.
- Constant P, T, and r throughout the flow field.
- Steady state.
- Fick's law applies.
- Equal species and momentum diffusivities, Sc = n /D
= 1.
- Neglect axial diffusion of momentum and species.
- Solution applies downstream of the jet core region.
