Using the Gulder Laminar Flame Speed

The laminar flame speed correlation proposed by Guelder is given in Eqn. 14. It involves the use of fuel-dependent constants, so you must specify the fuel type.

The use of this method for general applications is recommended.

Gulder Laminar Flame Speed Properties

Fuel Name

Specifies the fuel name control mechanism option for CFM combustion.

You should select an existing fuel that has the closest chemical structure to the real fuel. Any differences will have effects on the solution, but should still be a good approximation.

 

Methane

Specifies methane (CH4).

 

Propane

Specifies propane (C3H8).

 

Methanol

Specifies methanol (CH4O).

 

Ethanol

Specifies ethanol (C2H6O).

 

Iso-Octane

Specifies iso-octane (C8H18).
