Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Combustion theory plays an important role in industry and everyday life. It covers a wide range of aspects, from thermal energy generation to destructive fires. The widely known traditional approaches to the study of typical combustion processes have practically exhausted their potential. Therefore, a promising direction in the development of modern provisions of the combustion theory is the interdisciplinarity of experimental and theoretical studies.

As before, within all practical applications of combustion theory, the main aim is to achieve relatively high efficiency in terms of energy, economy, and environmental pollution. 

This Special Issue will be dedicated to new interdisciplinary approaches and combustion theory results. Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will not only focus on traditional hydrocarbon fuels and methods of their combustion, but also on the advanced multi-component fuel compositions and perspective methods of their ignition and combustion in relation to power-generating plants for various purposes.

This research paper numerically studies how hydrocarbon additives affect hydrogen combustion in the process of complex fuel burning on the example of the combustible foam representing the heptane-in-water emulsion foamed with a hydrogen–oxygen mixture. It is demonstrated that the two-phase hydrodynamic model with an account of foam structure and chemical kinetics reproduces quite accurately, at least at the qualitative level, the experimentally observed features of foamed emulsion combustion. Due to this, it is concluded that a proposed model can be fruitfully used for the interpretation of the combustion features observed in such a complex combined fuel. Based on the obtained numerical data, it is found that there are two main possibilities related to the hydrogen–hydrocarbon chemistry interactions. In the case of near-stoichiometric, hydrocarbons act mainly as an inhibitor of hydrogen combustion; however, for lean hydrogen–oxygen mixtures, flame propagation is determined by the joint hydrocarbon and hydrogen oxidation kinetics. Herewith, the hydrocarbon burns together with the hydrogen inside the flame front in the case of slow combustion, while in the case of high-speed combustion, hydrogen oxidation kinetics becomes predominant, and hydrocarbons evaporate and burn behind the flame front, causing a lesser effect on the flame dynamics.

Composite fuel is a promising energy source that allows for solving the problems of waste disposal with energy generation. Such fuel is the most accessible fuel and is cheap in comparison with fossil fuels widely used in industrial thermal power engineering. This paper presents the results of experimental studies on the effect of the initial temperature and the addition of combustible liquids and solid components on the ignition characteristics of composite fuel single droplets. Composite liquid fuels were prepared using the main components: bituminous coal, coal processing waste (filter cake), rapeseed oil, turbine oil, and water. The research was carried out for fuel droplets with an initial temperature from −60 to +60 and an ambient temperature from 700 to 1000 °C. The differences in the ignition delay times at conditions close to the limiting ones were 2–3.5 times. A promising direction for intensifying the processes of the ignition and combustion of composite liquid fuels under relatively intense heating is self-grinding into a large number of small fragments up to complete disintegration due to the dispersion effect. It has been experimentally found that the addition of highly flammable liquids (gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, formic acid) to the fuel composition in an amount of 5% is characterized by an intensification of ignition and burnout of droplets by about two times. The ignition delay time is reduced by 20–40%, while the size of the dispersion area is increased by 20–70%. The addition of formic acid to the composite fuel has a positive effect on the main ignition characteristics from 5 to 50%, and the addition of a similar amount of diesel fuel by 20–64%. Full article

Hydrogen plays a key role in the transition to a carbon-free economy. Substitution of hydrocarbon fuel with hydrogen in gas turbine engines and power plants is an area of growing interest. This review discusses the combustion features of adding hydrogen as well as its influence on the characteristics of gas turbine combustion chambers as compared with methane. The paper presents the studies into pure hydrogen or methane and methane–hydrogen mixtures with various hydrogen contents. Hydrogen combustion shows a smaller ignition delay time and higher laminar flame speed with a shift in its maximum value to a rich mixture, which has a significant effect on the flashback inside the burner premixer, especially at elevated air temperatures. Another feature is an increased temperature of the flame, which can lead to an increased rate of nitrogen oxide formation. However, wider combustion concentration ranges contribute to the stable combustion of hydrogen at temperatures lower than those of methane. Along with this, it has been shown that even at the same adiabatic temperature, more nitrogen oxides are formed in a hydrogen flame than in a methane flame, which indicates another mechanism for NOx formation in addition to the Zeldovich mechanism. The article also summarizes some of the results of the studies into the effects of hydrogen on thermoacoustic instability, which depends on the inherent nature of pulsations during methane combustion. The presented data will be useful both to engineers who are engaged in solving the problems of designing hydrogen combustion devices and to scientists in this field of study. Full article
