HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND COMBUSTION EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF THE LENGTH OF A FREE DIFFUSION JET OF FUEL GASES DILUTED WITH INERT GASES

摘要

Experimental investigation of the length of single burning jets of methane and hydrogen previously diluted with an inert gas (nitrogen or helium) was carried out. Efflux of fuel gases into the atmosphere occurred through cylindrical extension pieces 4 and 8 mm in diameter. The Reynolds numbers at the cut of a piece varied in the range from 400 to 12,000. A clearly defined dependence of the jet length on the quality of the added inert gas is obtained. The correlation of experimental data made it possible to recommend formulas for engineering calculations of free laminar and turbulent jets.
