Abstract:
Some specific features of flame propagation over a gas mixture with a very low value of enthalpy have been studied experimentally in an evaporative-diffusive regime in various porous media. The combustion wave is shown to propagate steadily in a high-porosity medium wetted withn-octane at velocities of 3–10 cm/sec. We have also studied the effect of the volumetric heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the material of a porous medium on the velocity and characteristics of flame propagation both in a high-velocity regime for high-enthalpy gas mixtures and in a low-velocity regime for low-enthalpy ones. The existence conditions of an evaporative-diffusive regime have been considered.
