A measurement technique for determination of the global and local equivalence ratios from the flame chemiluminescence for a swirl-stabilized lean premixed combustion of natural gas and kerosene is presented. First, we conducted spectrally resolved chemiluminescence studies using an imaging spectrometer to correlate the ratio of individual …
natural gas with hydrogen to a 20% level, it is anticipated that the CO2 concentration will decrease to approximately 1.06%. At a combustion air excess (λ) set to 1.1, the quantity of air ... amount of fuel, consequently elevating the co mbustion temperature. Furthermore, Figure 2 provides an insight into the theoretical temperature ...
The volumetric heat value of natural gas–hydrogen mixtures will decrease with the increase of hydrogen fraction in fuel blends, and this is due to the low volumetric heat value of hydrogen–air mixture compared to that of natural gas–air mixture at the stoichiometric condition [23]. Fig. 1 shows the variation of flame speed with hydrogen percentage in methane for EAR. …
Natural gas - Composition, Properties, Uses: Natural gas is a hydrocarbon mixture consisting primarily of saturated light paraffins such as methane and ethane, both of which are gaseous under atmospheric conditions. The mixture also may contain other hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, pentane, and hexane. In natural gas reservoirs even the heavier …
The United States now produces nearly all of the natural gas that it uses. In 2022, U.S. dry natural gas production was about 36.35 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), an average of about 96.60 billion cubic feet per day and an annual record high. Most of the production increases since 2005 are the result of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques, notably in shale, sandstone, …
