Abstract

In the present study, a mathematical approach is utilized so as to modeling the flame structure of organic dust particle and air through a two-phase mixture consisting in a counterflow configuration where heat loss is taken into account. Lycopodium is considered as the organic fuel in our research. In order to simulate combustion of organic dust particles, a three-zone flame structure has been considered; preheat-vaporization zone, reaction and post flame zones. The variations of the gaseous phase mass fraction and fuel particle mass fraction as a function of the distance from the stagnation plate are obtained. Subsequently, flame temperature and flame velocity in terms of strain rate are studied. Finally, the effect of heat loss on the non-dimensionalized temperature at different heat loss coefficients is investigated.
