Effects of inter-pulse coupling on nanosecond pulsed high frequency discharge ignition in a flowing mixture

Xingqian Mao et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the effects of non-equilibrium nanosecond plasma discharge on the critical ignition volume, minimum ignition energy, and chemistry in a plasma-assisted H2/air flow. It examines the interactions between discharges/ignition kernels in different regimes and analyzes the impact of flow velocity and pulse number on ignition enhancement. The findings reveal that flow velocity increases the minimum ignition energy and that the minimum critical ignition volume decreases with the increase of plasma discharge energy. Sequential two-pulse discharges show ignition failure in certain regimes but succeed in the fully-coupled regime at a shorter inter-pulse time. The study also demonstrates that an optimal pulse repetition frequency and pulse number can achieve effective ignition enhancement.

Theoretical analysis on the ignition of a combustible mixture by a hot particle

Dehai Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the ignition induced by hot particles in a combustible mixture and obtained a revised ignition criterion and explicit expressions for the critical ignition temperature. The results showed that temperature inhomogeneity affects the ignition process, and reducing particle size and increasing convective heat transfer intensify the temperature inhomogeneity.

Conventional spark versus nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge for a turbulence facilitated ignition phenomenon

M. T. Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates flame ignition under specific conditions using two different electrical discharge methods. The results show that ignition probability is highest when the pulse frequency is synchronized with the reactant flow frequency, while it significantly decreases under certain conditions.

On the prediction of hot spot induced ignition by the Livengood-Wu integral

Xinyi Chen et al.

Summary: The study developed a method using the L-W integral to predict the critical ignition temperature for non-homogeneous forced ignition processes, reducing computational cost significantly compared to transient simulations. Results showed accurate prediction of critical ignition temperature for hydrogen using the L-W integral method, while under-predicting for other fuels. The method provides a conservative prediction, important for fire safety considerations.

Shui Yu et al.

Summary: This paper highlights the directions of ignition improvement for high-efficiency gasoline engines to meet future fuel economy and emission standards. It introduces the working principles of primary types of advanced ignition systems and reviews relevant test results, while categorizing the systems into high-energy spark ignition, pulsed nanosecond discharge ignition, radio-frequency plasma ignition, laser-induced plasma ignition, and pre-chamber ignition. The effectiveness and implementation challenges of the advanced ignition systems are discussed based on the literature and empirical work.

Ignition of dimethyl ether/air mixtures by hot particles: Impact of low temperature chemical reactions

Yiqing Wang et al.

Summary: Understanding and characterizing ignition of flammable mixtures by hot particles is crucial for assessing and reducing the risk of accidental ignition and explosion. This study aims to numerically assess the effects of low-temperature chemistry (LTC) on ignition by hot particles. The results show that LTC can substantially accelerate ignition via high-temperature chemistry (HTC) in a certain range of hot particle temperatures.

Effects of fuel decomposition and stratification on the forced ignition of a static flammable mixture

Xinyi Chen et al.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of fuel decomposition on forced ignition in n-decane/air mixtures, finding that fuel decomposition can greatly promote ignition in fuel-lean mixtures while having little effect on stoichiometric cases. The duration of unsteady ignition kernel transition is also affected by fuel decomposition, and combining fuel decomposition with fuel stratification further promotes forced ignition. Additionally, laser and spark ignition experiments were conducted to measure the MIE of n-decane/ethylene/air mixtures, with experimental results consistent with simulation results.

Theoretical analysis on the transient ignition of a premixed expanding flame in a quiescent mixture

Dehai Yu et al.

Summary: The ignition of a self-sustained premixed expanding flame is a crucial problem in combustion research, and a transient formulation has been proposed in this work to address this issue. The theory considers the unsteady evolution of temperature and fuel mass fraction distributions under central heating, determining critical heating power and minimum ignition energy. The transient flame initiation process consists of four stages, and the unsteady effects considerably affect flame propagation characteristics.
