Liftoff and extinction characteristics of fuel- and air-stream-diluted methane–air flames
Abstract
Partial premixing of fuel and oxidizer is of common occurrence in fires. However, most previous studies dealing with flame extinction have focused on nonpremixed flames. In this experimental–numerical study, we examine the effectiveness of fuel-stream versus air-stream dilution for extinguishing laminar methane–air partially premixed (PPFs) and nonpremixed flames (NPF) using the chemically inert fire suppressant CO2. Experimental measurements …
