Experimental and computational investigation of partially-premixed methoxymethane flames

Experimental and computational studies are carried out to elucidate the structure and extinction of laminar partially-premixed flames employing the counterflow configuration. The fuel is methoxymethane (DME). The formulation considers two laminar streams that flow toward a stagnation plane. One stream called the fuel-rich stream is made up of DME (CH3OCH3), and nitrogen (N2) with small amounts of oxygen (O2) and the other stream called the...
