摘要: Abstract Nitrous oxide fuel blend propellants have great potential to be used in rocket engine, and investigations on the fundamental combustion characteristics of such are therefore necessary control flashback develop their chemical kinetics mechanism. Laminar burning velocities (LBVs) C2H4/N2O flames measured by using spherical expansion this paper at 0.5–2.0 atm 280 K. The present method for upper lower limits effective flame radius is reasonable experimental stretched speeds can fitted very well with stretch rates. LBVs smaller than those C2H4/N2/O2 (same N/O ratio as N2O) conditions near stoichiometric ratio, while they larger other especially fuel-rich side. not sensitive pressure range.
