火焰为非平衡弱电离等离子体,其中含有大量带电粒子、激发态自由基等物质。大量研究已经表明,将等离子体技术与燃烧领域相结合,可以显著缩短着火延迟时间、拓宽可燃极限、提高燃烧稳定性及降低污染物。基于火焰光谱诊断原理和模拟软件Maxwell,探究了直流电场对火焰形态和OH*自发发光辐射的影响。结果表明:施加直流电场后电场力主要作用在火焰根部,火焰中的正离子受力向负极移动,在火焰外观上表现为其整体形态的拉伸。贫氧燃烧工况下,火焰高度与电压呈正相关,而富氧燃烧工况下,火焰高度仅随电压的改变在35.08mm附近出现小范围波动,即贫氧工况下电场对火焰高度的影响更为显著。而结合顺电效应,施加电场后火焰宽度随直流电场的增大而减小,其变化趋势在不同氧燃当量比下保持一致。向火焰施加的直流电压小于3kV时,OH*的峰值强度没有明显改变,电压大于4kV时,OH*的峰值强度与电压呈负相关。以富氧燃烧为例,相比未施加电压的工况,OH*辐射总强度在9kV电压作用下出现10%左右的下降,即直流电场加强了火焰径向及轴向的燃料及氧气的混合。

Flames are non-equilibrium,weakly ionized plasmas containing a large number of charged particles,excited state radicals andother substances. Numerous studies have shown that the combination of plasma technology and combustion field can significantly shortenthe ignition delay time,extend the flammability limit,improve combustion stability and reduce pollutants. Based on the flame spectraldiagnostic system and Maxwell simulation of electric field strength,the effects of DC electric field on flame morphology and OH*radiation were investigated. The results show that under DC electric field,the electric field force acted mainly on the root of the flame,andpositive ions in the flame were forced to move to the cathode,which is manifested as a stretching in the appearance of the flame. Inoxygen-poor combustion of the flame height is positively correlated with the voltage value,whereas in oxygen-rich combustion the flameheight fluctuated only in a small range around 35.08 mm with the change in voltage value,which meant the effect of DC electric field onthe flame height was more significant in oxygen-poor combustion. Combined with the para-electric effect,the flame width decreased withthe increase of the DC field under DC electric field,and its trend remained consistent under different oxygen-fuel equivalent ratios. Thepeak intensity of OH* did not change significantly when the voltage value was below 3 kV,and the peak intensity of OH* was negatively correlated with the voltage value when it was above 4 kV. In the case of oxygen enriched combustion,the OH* content at 9 kV showed adecrease of about 10% compared to the case with no voltage applied,which meant the DC field promoted the mixing of fuel and oxygen inthe radial and axial directions of the flame.
