Experimental study of engine-like turbulent <strong>combustion</strong><br />

Updraft and downdraft syngas compositions have simi<strong>la</strong>r burning velocities in <strong>la</strong>minar<br />

conditions but the same is not found in turbulent conditions, where the difference on<br />

peak pressure is higher by about 25%. As the turbulent burning velocity is proportional<br />

to the <strong>la</strong>minar burning velocity, analysing the corre<strong>la</strong>tions for <strong>la</strong>minar burning velocity of<br />

the typical syngas compositions <strong>de</strong>veloped on this work show that the effect of<br />

pressure is very significant (coefficient β for updraft is 40% higher in re<strong>la</strong>tion to<br />

downdraft syngas). The higher pressure used on RCM also makes temperature to<br />

increase due to compression but the effect of temperature on burning velocity for<br />

typical syngas compositions is irrelevant since the coefficient α is of the same or<strong>de</strong>r.<br />

Another major finding is that syngas typical compositions are characterized by high<br />

ignition timings due to their low burning velocities. One should be aware of the low<br />

equivalent rotation speed used on the RCM. This could compromise the use of typical<br />

syngas compositions on high rotation speed engines.<br />
