1 A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF PREMIXED FLAME PROPAGATION WITH AM ISOTHERMAL CHAIN REACTION Amable Liñán Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial, Madrid A B S T R A C T An asymptotic analysis, for large activation energies, is presented of the structure of a deflagration wave supported by a two step chemical reaction mechanism with a first order chainbranching reaction and a second order chain termination reaction. In the first step the initial reactant is transformed, without liberation of heat, into an intermediate species; the reaction is auto-catalytic and has a large activation energy. In the sec ond step the intermediate species recombines, with liberation of heat, to give the final products. Three main regimes are found in the analysis: In a first regime, for very large recombination rates, the steady-state assumption for the intermediate species yields an overall reaction and a corresponding overall reaction rate with a large activation energy. In a second regime, the recombination reaction, takes place everywhere in the flame; the conversion of the initial reactant into the intermediate species occurs in a thin reaction region embedded in the much thicker recombination region. For low recombination rates, an isothermal chain reaction flame precedes a much thicker recombination region where transport effects may be neglected.
2 INTRODUCTION AMP FORMULATION Zeldovich (1948) formulated the flame propagation problem for an idealized chain reaction. He considered in his model that, in a first step, the initial reactant "a" is transformed into an intermediate radical "b" by means of a first order autocatalytic reaction: a + b = 2b. In this first step the overall reaction rate has a large activation energy E and the heat release is zero. In a second step the intermediate species b recombines into the f i nal products with liberation of heat: b+b = Prod. The reaction rate of this second step has a zero temperature dependence and is second order with respect to b. This kinetic scheme was introduced by Zeldovich as a simplified model of many chemical reactions, like the H 2 -air reaction. If the diffusivities of mass and heat D are assumed to be equal and the specific heat c, as well as the product pd of den sity p and D, is taken as constant, the conservations equations for this deflagration process, may be written in nondimensional form as _d *i$u «-A abexp(-e/rt) (1) de d 2
3 2.- where a and g are the mass fractions a and b divided by the initial mass fraction a of a. The non-dimensional flame parameter A 2 = B_a pd/n 2 of the reaction is obtained in terms of the reaction constant B-, rate of the second stepjb-b 2, and the mass flux m = pu through the deflagration wave; A4/A9 = B i/ B 2 wliere B i * s the pre-exponential factor in the reaction rate, B 1 abexp(-e/rt), of the f i r s t reaction. The temperature has been written in nondimensional form as 6 ct/ha flame x has been written as x =, and the distance through the (pd/ra), The boundary conditions for the system of Eq.(l) to (3) are 6 * : a = 1 ff 6 = 0 >f 9 = e Q U) -* - : a=0,, 6 = 0,, 8 = G 1 (5) The following relations may be easily obtained from the above system of equations, a+b + e = i + e 0 =e jl (6) which may substitute one of the differential equations (1) to (3), These equations may be further reduced to a system of two differential equations, one first order and the other second order by
4 3.- using, for example, 8 and d8/d as dependent and 8 as independent variables. However, we shall operate in the original variables, for reasons of physical clarity in the presentation. Our purpose is to examine the asymptotic structure of the flame propagation process for large values of the ratio of activa^ tion temperature E/R and final flame temperature T. = T + h/a c. l o o We shall cover in our analysis the complete range of values of the ratio A^Mo = B iv B 9 ^rora zero * infinity. We shall see that by increasing this ratio from zero to infinity we pass from a regime 1) in which the reaction mechanism reduces to an overall reaction, because a steady state assumption for the species b is applicable, to 2) a second regime in which the species a is converted into b in a thin reaction zone, embedded in a thick reaction zone where b is recombined into products, and finally for a sufficiently high value of the ratio B /B, 3) a regime exists for which the mode of flame propagation is that due to an isothermal chain as quoted by Zeldovich (19U8). Of course intermediate transition regimes exist between the three ones mentioned above.

FAST RECOMBINATION REACTION I f fty/h* >> expc-e/rt^) the quasi-steady state approximation may be used for the intermediate species b f so that B << 1,, B = (A 1 /A 2 )aexp(-e/rt) (7) therefore a + G = 6 1 (8) and ^ = A: 1 A?(6 i -e) 2 exp(-2e/rt). (9) <H d 5 * The last equation is to be integrated with the boundary conditions e (-«.) = e,, e (+~) = e. do) O 1 The asymptotic solution of (9) for large values of 2E/RT, may be easily obtained by using the inner and outer expansions method. A thick transport region where 6 is given in the first approximation by -4S ^ - = o (li) dt d 2 precede, the thin reaction zone region, located around = 0,

The matching conditions between (13) and (14) yield A2 /2 (B 1 /2B 2 )(RT 1 /E) 3/2 exp(-e/rt 1 ) = 1 (15) which determines the flame propagation velocity in the first approximation. Higher order terms in the asymptotic expansion may be calculated without major difficulties. 3. INTERMEDIATE REC0M8IMATIN0 RATES, If exp(-e/rt ) << A 0 /A. << exp(-e/rt ) i t is clear that for an intermediate temperature T- the rates of the chain branch ing and recombinating reactions will be equal. That is A 2 /A 1 = exp(-e/rt 2 ) = * 2 /h l (16)
7 6.- Then, for E/RT- -» - and T > T the f i r s t reaction will be in equilib rium, that is a = 0, and for T < T the first reaction will be fro zen. I f we /take = 0 as the location where, in the asymptotic limit, T T_, then, the system of equations (1) to (3) take the form: C < 0 da d d 2 g dc 2 = 0 (It) de d 2 B = -A d5 2 (18) a + B + 8 6; (.6) > 0 a = 0 (19) dg d 2 g <u d 2 -A (20) B + e = e. (21) The solution of (17) with the boundary condition a (-w) = 1,, a(0) = 0 is a = 1 - exp5 (22) Equation (18) must be solved with the boundary conditions B( ) = 0,, 8(0) = 8, = 8 ± (23)
8 7.- B(«). 0. The boundary conditions for Eq.(20) are 8(0) = S 2 The concentration of b at 0 is given by B- 9 - Q. For the complete determination of the solution we must add the relation B c (-0)-B (to) = 1 \ (2U) obtained from the matching conditions of these outer solutions with the solution of the equations describing the structure of the inner first step reaction zone. These equations may be shown to be «**< <n : = A 1 exp(-e/rt 2 )0 2 aexp{e(t-t 2 )/RT } (25) a + B + 6 6, (6) d 2 = 0 (26) The convective effects may be neglected compared with the diffusive effects because of the small thickness of the first step reaction zone; for the same reason the effects of the second recombinating reaction may also be neglected, and 0 may be written as 0_ when evaluating the reaction rate. In addition the Arrhenius exponent may be linearized about T_. The thickness of this
9 8:- reaction zone is' determined by the fact that E(T-T 0 )/RT 0 should not be large compared with unity. The solution of Eq.(26) is s e 2 + pe, (27) where p has to be determined from the matching conditions with the outer solution. Eq.(25) may now be written as d 2 i dt< a aa exp -" (28) RT 2 e 2 with the boundary conditions a(~) =0,, c^(-«) = - i (29) obtained from the matching conditions with the outer solutions Eq.(19) and (22). The solution is a = AK (t) o (30) where t (2/A^?J RT 2 /Ep)exp( E/2RT ), K Q is a modified Bessel function of zero order, and A = -2RT /Ep (31) The matching conditions between (27) and the outer solutions of the equations (18) and (20) yield p = 1-0 (-0) = -B-(+0) (32)
10 Let us now turn back to the solution of Eq.(l8) or (20) db d 2 $ d d : 2 = -A B 2 2 (33) to be solved for < 0 with the boundary conditions $( ) = 0,, 6(0) = B 2, (34) and for > 0 with the boundary conditions B <+-> «0 6(0) = e 2 f (35) while the additional condition B^(-0) - B^ + 0) = 1 (36) will be used to calculate A 2 (B 9 ), and thereby the flame 9.- propagation speed. Zeldovich (1961), when analyzing this intermediate regime for large activation energies, obtained a system of equations similar to this to describe distribution of concentration of the intermediate species. Then he proceeded with a linearization of equation (33) can not be justified. To solve Eq.(33) we introduce the variable A-g $ and y = d<j>/d so that i t takes the form y - ydy/d<}> = ~$ 2 (37)

When eq.(37) is solved with the boundary condition y + <J> 2 = 0 for * * 0 (39) which corresponds to 6( ) = 0, i t indicates a balance of the recombination and convective effects. Let the solution of Eqs. (37) and (38) be y ^ * ), and y 2 (*) the solution of Eqs.(37) and (39). Let y 3 <0 = y ± - y 2 (U0) The condition (36) takes the form y 3 (A 2 B 2 ) = A 2 (41) from which i t is easy to deduce the relation A 2 = f(b 2 ) (12) giving the flame speed in terms Q, and therefore in terms of B./B. if Eq.(l ) is taken into account.

The correlation (43) and the numerical results coincide within the accuracy of Fig SLOW RECOMBINATION REACTION We shall now analyze the case when A 0 /A = B 0 /B <<exp(-e/rt ) m 2 1 z 1 o in this case a thick recombination region follows downstream of an isothermal autocatalytic flame. That is, in a first region, the conservation equations describing the isothermal autocatalytic flame are a+e = i, f e = e (43 1 ) ^ ^ - = 3(l-B)A 1 exp(-e/rt ) (44) ds de 2 1

The solution is B = 1/(1+A 2 ). Zeldovich Skalov and O.M. (1948) quotes the results of analysis by B.N. Todes in 1938 and also the work of Kolmogorov, Petrovkii and Piskunov (1937), who show that a solution of Eq. (44) with the boundary conditions (45) is possible for all values of A.exp(-E/RT ) < 1/4 (49) l o However when considering the steady flame propagation

The isothermal chain flame structure is shown in Fig.3 where B has been plotted as a function of 5. COUCLUSTONS We have carried out in the previous sections an analysis of the structure of a deflagration wave supported by a two step chemical reaction mechanism with a first order chain-branching reaction and a second order chain termination reaction. Three regimes have been found for large values of the activation energy of the chain branching reaction. In a first regime, for large recombination rates, the que si-steady approximation may be used for the intermediate species.
15 14.- Eq.7 f and an overall reaction rate with large activation energies describes the evolution of the temperature and concentration of the initial^ reactant. An explicit closed form relation, Eq.(15) has been obtained for the flame propagation velocity. For intermediate values of the recombination rates, such that the temperature T- obtained from Eq.(16) lies between the i n i t i a l and final temperature T and T, the recombination reac o 1 tion takes place everywhere in the flame. The conversion of the i n i t i a l reactant into the intermediate species occurs only in a thin region where the concentration of this species B takes a val^ ue given in first approximation by B~ = c(t*-t 2 )/ha. The concentration of B in the much thicker recombination regions is given by Eqs. (37) with the boundary conditions Eqs.(38) and (39), That is B ( ) is given by A 2 B 2 5 = -/ d*/y 1 (*) for < 0 V (52) and A 2 fi 2 t = -/ ^d*/y ($) for Z > 0 V (53) The flame propagation velocity is in this regime very accurately
16 15.- correlated by the Eq.(43). For low recombination rates an isothermal chain reaction flame, where only the catalytic reaction occurs, moves with a velocity given by Eq (50), preceding a much thicker recombination region where 0 is given by g = 1/(1+A 9 ). The concentration profile for 3 is given in Fig.3 for the catalytic reaction region.
