The aim of our work was to study turbulent premixed flames in subatmospheric conditions. For this purpose, turbulent premixed flames of lean methane/air mixtures were stabilized in a nozzle-type Bunsen burner and analyzed using Schlieren visualization and image processing to calculate turbulent burning velocities by the mean-angle method. Moreover, hot-wire anemometer measurements were performed to characterize the turbulent aspects of the flow. The environmental conditions were 0.85 atm, 0.98 atm, and 295 ± 2 K. The turbulence-flame interaction was analyzed based on the geometric parameters combined with laminar flame properties (which were experimentally and numerically determined), integral length scale, and Kolmogorov length scale. Our results show that the effects of subatmospheric pressure on turbulent burning velocity are significant. The ratio between turbulent and laminar burning velocities increases with turbulence intensity, but this effect tends to decrease as the atmospheric pressure is reduced. We propose a general empirical correlation as a function between / and '/ based on the experimental results obtained in this study and the equivalence ratio and pressure we established.

Laser absorption spectroscopy (LAS) is a well-established measurement technique for quantitative chemical speciation in a combustion environment. However, LAS measurement of nitric oxide (NO) in ammonia flames has never been reported in the literature. This is despite the community's recent strong interest in carbon-neutral ammonia combustion and the associated NO formation problem.

In this study, a series of experiments are done to analyze the effect of bluff body geometry on the NO reduction of a natural gas-air stratified swirl burner. The stratified burner of Cambridge University is chosen to study the mentioned geometrical effect, and the geometry modification of bluff body is used as a simple method for NO reduction, which can be easily applied to the systems using these burners, including gas turbines. The bluff body geometrical change to an annular bluff body is inspired by the fact that the areas in which the edge of the bluff body is in contact with the unburned flow have lower temperatures, which can drastically affect combustion parameters, especially emissions.

Article Synopsis
- High-altitude regions in China have a potential for renewable energy and ammonia production, leading to a proposed co-combustion strategy of methane and ammonia to lower carbon emissions.
- A specialized combustion system was used to test how different ammonia mixing ratios, equivalence ratios, and pressures affect nitrogen oxide (NO) emissions in flames fueled by methane and ammonia.
- Findings show that higher ammonia ratios increase NO emissions in stoichiometric flames but remain constant in fuel-rich flames at ratios above 10%. Sub-atmospheric pressure raises NO levels, especially in fuel-rich conditions, but doesn't significantly change nitrogen conversion pathways.
We report the development of a multi-pass diode laser absorption spectroscopy system for simultaneous measurements of soot volume fraction (SVF), temperature, and CH concentration using a single diode laser near 1.543 µm. A line-shaped beam spot pattern is chosen for the open-path Herriott multi-pass cavity, enabling sensitive detection at various heights above the burner with an effective optical absorption path length of approximately 1.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on recovering oil from discarded lemon peel biomass and testing it as a gasoline substitute in engine blends at different volume ratios (10%, 20%, and 30%) using steam distillation for oil extraction.
- - Using an endoscopic visualization approach, the research found that a 10% lemon peel oil blend offered higher thermal efficiency and lower emissions, while premixed combustion produced better combustion characteristics, leading to increased cylinder pressure.
- - To enhance performance, a ceramic coating was applied to the piston using the micro-arc oxidation technique, which improved thermal efficiency by 3% and 4.69% for the 20% lemon peel oil blend compared to uncoated and pure gasoline engines, while also reducing hydrocarbon
