Abstract
The present work reports experimental results on the determination of laminar flame
velocities of hydrogen- air - diluent mixtures initially at 100 kPa and for 2 different initial
temperatures 298 and 353 K. The diluent was water vapor or a mixture containing helium and carbon
dioxide. The data obtained in this study are compared with the literature ones. The experimental setup
consists of a spherical bomb coupled to a schlieren system and a high speed camera. The effect of the
stretch on the flame velocity is characterized for all the investigated mixtures. Computed laminar
flame velocities are obtained using PREMIX and CHEMKIN codes. Two different kinetic
mechanisms are used, and the computed values are compared to the experimental ones.
