Calculation Formula of Maximum Burning Velocity for the Gas Mixtures

Abstract

In the town-gas industry, the combustibility of fuel gas has been characterized with the relative quantities corresponding to maximum burning velocity of fuel gas.
The relation between its quantities and the maximum burning velocity of fuel gas is, however, not obvious for the fuel gases composed of many components. To make sure of this relation. it was attempted to calculate: the maximum burning velocity as a function of gas compositions under a certain theoretical consideration.
The derivation process of the calculation formula is shown in this paper with systematic measurements of the maximum burning velocity for the gas mixtures.
