The spherically expanding flame under constant volume method was introduced in 1934 by Lewis and von Elbe as a means to study laminar flame propagation at engine-relevant conditions. Despite its potential, this method has not been utilized extensively due to concerns regarding the underlying assumptions and data uncertainty. In the present study, the intricacies of the experimental approach as well as the models and assumptions involved during data interpretation were reassessed with the aid of direct numerical simulations. Results confirmed that stretch effects are negligible during the compression stage of the experiment for a wide range of Lewis numbers. Additionally, it was shown that the laminar flame speed is sensitive to the flame radius stressing thus the requirement that the modeling of flame radius needs to be done with the highest possible accuracy by accounting properly for product dissociation and thermal radiation from the burned gases. It was also shown, that the equilibrium assumption is valid for modeling the flame radius as a function of pressure and, as expected, the kinetic and transport effects are negligible. Subsequently, laminar flame speeds were measured for methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, 1-butene, and isobutene flames for 8-30 atm pressures and 400-520 K unburned mixture temperatures. A hybrid thermodynamic/radiation model was utilized to interpret the experimental observables and derive the laminar flame speed by accounting for spectrally dependent emission from and absorption by the burned gases as well as product dissociation during compression. The data were found to be consistent with measurements obtained in spherically expanding flame experiments under constant pressure conditions and predictions using a number of current kinetic models.
