TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of magnetic field acting on flame, and particularly relates to an experimental device for testing influence of uniform magnetic field on one-dimensional combustion process. BACKGROUND
[0002] It has been found in previous researches that combustion process will be changed by magnetic field, and the appearance and temperature of flame are affected.
[0003] Since the gradient magnetic field has a large magnetic force on oxygen, oxygen tends to migrate to the direction with large magnetic field gradient under the action of the magnetic force, which is reflected in the combustion phenomenon that the oxygen enrichment or the bulk force of oxygen movement dominates.
[0004] However, the generation of magnetic field will be accompanied by magnetic field gradient, and it is difficult to exclude the influence of magnetic field gradient on flame in actual experiments, so that the experimental phenomenon of uniform magnetic field or Lorentz force acting on flame is difficult to be observed alone.
[0005] In addition, the actual combustion process usually involves three-dimensional space, and the movement of matter in the combustion process also includes three-dimensional movement direction. Since the magnetic induction line has a closed characteristic, the actual magnetic field is difficult to have a single effect on the three-dimensional space and three-dimensional movement of the combustion process.
[0006] The existing flame burner, as shown in the figure, is vertically arranged with the jet pipe 91 and the electromagnet 92, and in this device, the oxygen is subjected to the downward paramagnetic force, and the oxygen will move downward and form a convection with the flame. The momentum transfer characteristics and reaction kinetics characteristics are affected together, and cannot be studied alone. Figure 3
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device capable of carrying out experiments on the influence of uniform magnetic field on one-dimensional combustion process. SUMMARY

[0016] Further, the pole head is provided with a cooling pipeline.
[0017] Further, the gas path inlet end is provided with a charge loading device, which entrains charged solid or liquid particles in the fuel gas flow or oxidizing agent gas flow to make the gas charged.
[0018] Further, the gas path inlet end is provided with a plasma generating device, which excites the fuel gas flow or oxidizing agent gas flow to generate plasma to increase the jet energy.
[0019] Further, the electromagnets symmetrical about the center plane are a first electromagnet and a second electromagnet respectively;

[0023] The first gas path introduces fuel gas along the first pole column to the center plane direction; the second gas path introduces oxidizing gas along the second pole column to the center plane direction.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0029] 1. This invention, based on a one-dimensional counteracting flame, utilizes a specially constructed electromagnet and a rationally arranged burner to design a simple and practical device for experimenting with the influence of a uniform magnetic field on a one-dimensional combustion process. The electromagnet provides a circular uniform magnetic field on a plane of symmetry, with the center of this field located on the central axis of the device. The strength of the uniform magnetic field is adjustable based on the magnitude of the electromagnet's power supply current to meet experimental requirements. By adjusting the amounts of oxidizing gas and fuel gas, the flame surface is positioned on the plane of symmetry of the electromagnet, thus coinciding with the region of the uniform magnetic field. A counteracting flame is formed on the plane of symmetry of the electromagnet, exhibiting uniform combustion. This can be approximated as a one-dimensional diffusing flame along the axial direction of the electromagnet, with the material within the flame moving radially outward, perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.

The plasma generator generates plasma by exciting the fuel gas flow or oxidant gas flow, thereby increasing the jet energy, so as to conduct experimental research on the effect of the plasma under the Lorentz force on the combustion process under a uniform magnetic field.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the present invention;
[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the usage state of Embodiment 2 of the present invention;
[0034] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an existing flame burner. Detailed Implementation
[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1As shown, the experimental setup for testing the effect of a uniform magnetic field on a one-dimensional combustion process includes electromagnets symmetrical about the central plane 5, namely the first electromagnet 1 and the second electromagnet 2.
[0036] The first electromagnet 1 includes a cylindrical first coil 11 and a cylindrical first pole post 12 disposed inside the first coil 11 and capable of reciprocating along the axial direction of the coil 11; the first pole post 12 is coaxial with the coil 11.
[0037] At the axial center of the first pole post 12, along the axial direction of the first pole post 12, there is a first air passage 31 that passes through the first pole post 12;
[0038] The second electromagnet 2 includes a second coil 21, a second pole piece 22, and a second air passage 32;
[0039] The first gas passage 31 introduces fuel gas along the first pole post 12 toward the central plane 5; the second gas passage 32 introduces oxidizing gas along the second pole post 22 toward the central plane 5.
[0040] Both the first pole post 12 and the second pole post 22 are equipped with burners 80;
[0041] The first pole post 12 is provided with a first pole head 13 at its top end; the first pole head 13 is provided with a first pole surface 14 parallel to the central plane 5 at its front end.
[0042] The top of the second pole post 22 is provided with a second pole head 23; the front end of the second pole head 23 is provided with a second pole surface 24 parallel to the central plane 5;
[0043] Cooling pipes 4 are provided inside both the first electrode head 13 and the second electrode head 23.
[0044] Cooling pipe 4 is arranged circumferentially along the electrode head plane to absorb additional heat from combustion and protect the electromagnet. Cooling pipe 4 can be water-cooled.
[0045] Among them, the pole head includes frustum-shaped or cylindrical pole heads. The cylindrical pole head has a larger pole surface area, which can provide a larger volume of uniform magnetic field, but the magnetic field strength is relatively weak; the frustum-shaped pole head has a smaller pole surface area, but it provides a higher magnetic field strength.
[0046] The equivalence ratio of fuel to oxidant is in the range of 0.6-11 to ensure more complete combustion of the fuel.
[0047] Example 1 - Experiment on the Influence of Uniform Magnetic Field on the One-Dimensional Combustion Process of Premixed Fuel
[0048] like Figure 1 The diagram shows an experimental setup for the influence of a magnetic field on the one-dimensional combustion process of premixed fuel. It includes a first electromagnet 1 and a second electromagnet 2, which are identical in structure and symmetrical about the central plane 5.
[0049] The first coil 11 that makes up the first electromagnet is cylindrical, the first pole post 12 is cylindrical with an outer diameter of 130mm, the first pole head 13 is frustum shaped, and the first pole surface 14 is circular with a diameter of 50mm.
[0050] The distance between the upper and lower poles is 30mm.
[0051] A 20A current in the same direction is passed through the first coil 11 of the first electromagnet 1 to generate a uniform magnetic field in the region between the first pole face 14 and the second pole face 24, with the magnetic field lines 10 pointing from one pole face to the other.
[0052] The circular nozzle jet burner 80 has a jet diameter of 3mm. The fuel methane air premixed gas passes through the first gas passage 31 along the upward airflow direction 81, and the fuel methane air premixed gas passes through the second gas passage 32 along the downward airflow direction 82. The inner diameter of the upper and lower gas passages is 4mm.
[0053] Fuel methane-air premixed gas is injected into the combustion reaction zone through burner 80, ignited, and the flow rate of the premixed gas is adjusted so that the one-dimensional flame surface 5 is located on the electromagnet's plane of symmetry. At this time, the combustion reactants move radially along direction 9 within the one-dimensional flame surface 5. The direction of motion of the combustion reactants 9 is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field lines 10.
[0054] Cooling water is introduced into the cooling pipeline 4 to prevent polar surface ablation.
[0055] The four characteristics of a flame are momentum transfer, mass transfer, heat transfer, and reaction kinetics. The symmetrical structure in Embodiment 1 of this invention can eliminate the influence on momentum transfer, while the premixed flame can eliminate the influence on mass transfer. Heat transfer is negligible, so the influence of the magnetic field on reaction kinetics can be studied independently. Therefore, this device can realize experiments on the influence of a uniform magnetic field on a one-dimensional combustion process.
[0056] Example 2 - Experiment on the Influence of Lorentz Force in a Uniform Magnetic Field on a One-Dimensional Combustion Process

[0059] The distance between the upper and lower poles is 30mm.
[0060] A 20A current in the same direction is passed through the first coil 11 of the first electromagnet 1 to generate a uniform magnetic field in the region between the first pole face 14 and the second pole face 24, with the magnetic field lines 10 pointing from one pole face to the other.
[0061] The circular nozzle jet burner 80 has a jet diameter of 3mm. The fuel methane air premixed gas passes through the first gas passage 31 along the upward airflow direction 81, and the fuel methane air premixed gas passes through the second gas passage 32 along the downward airflow direction 82. The inner diameter of the upper and lower gas passages is 4mm.
[0062] A charge-load device 6 is installed in the second gas path 32 so that the oxygen gas flow carries a small amount of positively or negatively charged droplets into the combustion reaction zone.
[0063] Ignite and adjust the flow rates of methane and oxygen so that the one-dimensional flame surface 5 is located on the plane of symmetry of the electromagnet. At this time, the combustion reactants move radially along direction 9 within the one-dimensional flame surface 5. The direction of motion of the combustion reactants 9 is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field lines 10.
[0064] The charged reactant is subjected to a Lorentz force perpendicular to directions 9 and 10 and satisfying the left-hand rule, causing a deflection of its motion direction within the one-dimensional flame surface 5.
[0065] Cooling water is introduced into the cooling pipeline 4 to prevent polar surface ablation.
[0066] At this point, the device can be used to conduct experiments on the influence of the Lorentz force of a uniform magnetic field on a one-dimensional combustion process.
