Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Normal burning velocities in methanol–air mixtures and in the same mixtures with added 4.5 and 7.2% hydrogen as a second fuel were measured over a wide range of equivalence ratio and for initial conditions of 0.16 MPa and 354 K. It has been shown that the mechanism previously proposed for the combustion of mixtures of CO, CH2O and CH3OH with air is applicable to multicomponent mixtures containing hydrogen and methanol.
