Resumo

Ethanol-air deflagrations were experimentally studied inside a closed tube by varying the equivalence ratio (0.9-1.4) and the initial pressure (20-60 kPa). The flame front inversion phenomenon was observed in all tests. It was determined that the ratio of the distance of flat flame formation to the hydraulic diameter (d(f)/d(h)) is a measurable parameter that allows the characterization of the phenomenon. For ethanol-air mixtures two dimensionless parameters can be used to correlate d(f)/d(h), namely, the ratio of the laminar flame speed to the speed of sound of the reactants (S-L/C-S,C-0) and the dimensionless distance travelled by the flame tip up to the time when the flame touches the lateral walls of the tube (xi(tip,wall)) . Two correlations were obtained and the averages of the absolute values of the relative errors (AARE) were less than 1.2%. Another correlation was obtained considering published data of different fuel-air mixtures. A statistical analysis applied considering experimental data from published literature and from this work, showed an AARE of 8.95% and a coefficient of multiple determination (R-2) of 0.79. The p-values of the regression coefficients were lower than 0.001. Therefore, the correlations present good accuracy and can be used for prediction. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. (AU)
