Multifuel Systems: Methane–Hydrogen–Steam

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

New data on parameters of combustion and detonation of two-fuel mixtures of methane and hydrogen with oxygen and air are presented. The data are obtained with variations of both the ration between CH4 and H2 and also the ratio between the fuel components and oxidizer. Results for the critical energy of detonation initiation, characteristic size of detonation cells, detonation velocity, and energy release in detonation waves are included. New information on parameters of combustion and detonation of methane mixtures diluted by water, including situations with gas hydrates, is reported.
