Combustion at High Pressures
L. C. LichtyAbstract
In the author’s experiments hydrogen-air mixtures ranging from 1 H2 + 0.85 Air to 1 H2 + 6.5 Air were investigated, first, by varying the length of combustion chamber, holding the initial temperature constant at 80 deg. fahr., and second, by varying the initial temperature from 80 to 400 deg. fahr., holding the length of combustion chamber constant. Records were obtained from which the effect of mixture on maximum pressure was studied, as well as the effect of surface-volume relationships on maximum pressure, effect of mixture on time of pressure rise, rate of flame propagation, heat loss during pressure rise, etc.
