Numerical simulation on the rffect of concentration on premixed ch4/co2/air explosion characteristics

In this study, a numerical simulation on the premixed CH4/CO2/air (methane/carbon dioxide/air)mixture explosion characteristics was conducted by using the FLame ACcelaration Simulator (FLACs) software. The domain used in the 20 L spherical vessel with 0.808 m diameter. The effect of various equivale...
