| Abstract |
An analytical model of the combustion process in a closed system is developed. The model uses real gas properties and assumes the burned gas region to be non-uniform. Numerical calculations using this model predict a 600K temperature difference across the combustion chamber with the high temperature region adjacent to the point of ignition. Chemical kinetic calculations show that the formation of nitric oxide is greatly influenced by the temperature gradient. Experimentally infrared spectroscopic measurements were made to substantiate the existance of this temperature gradient. (Modified author abstract) |
