Influence of turbulence on flame propagation in iron dust suspensions

The intensified reaction-transport coupling during thermochemical oxidation is investigated experimentally in an optically accessible pressure vessel in which homogeneous isotropic turbulence is excited via fans.

1st Phase (14 months)

  • Design of the pressure vessel including turbulence generators applying LES
  • Objectives:
    • Homogeneous particle load
    • Ability to vary the turbulence intensity and length scale

2nd Phase

  • Pressure vessel fabrication and commissioning
  • Development of the measurement method for the flame propagation investigation
  • Investigation of the influence of turbulence and iron particle characteristics on the flame propagation in the pressure vessel
