Abstract
Laminar burning velocities for ethanol/air premixed flames were measured in elevated pressure and elevated temperature conditions by using the local angle method which employs particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) to Bunsen flames. Experimental data of laminar burning velocities were compared with numerical results calculated using detailed chemical reaction mechanisms for ethanol oxidation, i.e., the mechanism by Marinov and the mechanism by Saxena and Williams, and the validation of the existing chemical reaction mechanisms was performed under high pressure and high temperature conditions.
