| Abstract: | The combustion of solid particle clouds is extensively used in many engineering areas. However, experimental data describing the turbulent flame propagation behavior and the combustion mechanism of solid particle clouds have remained limited. In this work, the combustion of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particle clouds was studied by employing a unique fan-stirred constant-volume chamber. For the quasi-monodispersed particle clouds, the flame propagation velocity increased with the increase in the turbulence intensity and the decrease in the quasi-monodispersed particle size. However, the particle concentration had little effect on the flame propagation velocity, which is unique in a turbulent flow field. The consistency of the results between the current study of PMMA particle clouds and the previous study for coal particle clouds showed that the heterogeneous combustion of char particles had little effect on the turbulent flame propagation velocity of the solid particle clouds. Further, two types of quasi-monodispersed particles were mixed to study how the interactions between small and large (poly dispersed) particles affect turbulent flame propagation. We found that the turbulent flame propagation velocity had a nonlinear relationship with the mass ratio of small particles (J-shaped curve). The turbulent flame propagation velocity slightly increased with low mass ratio of small particles, while it sharply increased with high mass ratio of small particles. Increasing the turbulence intensity and decreasing the primary particle (large particle) size can advance the starting point of the sharp increase. These unique features were explained by a mechanism considering the polydispersed interparticle interaction proposed by the authors. In the combustion of turbulent polydispersed particle clouds, the particle-particle agglomeration and the agglomeration break-up in the turbulent flow field affect turbulent flame propagation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the fundamental spherical turbulent flame propagation phenomenon and the mechanism of solid particle cloud combustion considering the polydispersed interparticle interactions. |
