Hello everybody,

I am new to the field of combustion CFD. I have used Ansys CFX before but only for non-reacting flows. I am trying to simulate a premix laminar combustion model using Ansys CFX. The model is a simple tube, which I am analyzing as a 2D symmetric part. Inlet velocity is 1 m/s. Inlet Temperature is 298 K. Outlet condition is 1 atm. Mass fractions for methane and oxygen at the inlet are 0.2 and 0.8 respectively. I am using a temperature condition at the walls such that for first few iterations a 2200 K temperature is applied there and then it is switched to 298 K. Also I am using no turbulence model (Laminar) and thermal energy model. For chemistry, I am using Finite rate chemistry (one step).

The problem I am having is that after the solution converges, temperatures in the domain are very unexpectedly high. Maximum temperature is 6138 K. This is wrong as Adiabatic flame temperature for methane combustion is around 2200 K. Can you please help me in this matter? I have attached the image of high temperature contour. and below is the ccl file :

Have you seen this FAQ? http://www.cfd-online.com/Wiki/Ansys...hemistry_model

Also: You do not appear to have a radiation model. Isn't this important at these temperatures?

[Opaque]

May I ask how you computed the adiabatic flame temperature for the specific case you are solving ?

The adiabatic flame temperature is not a universal value though many engineers take it as such because it refers to a standard condition in their minds. If by any chance you are referring to results computed by some chemical equilibrium codes, there is the first problem. Those codes usually refer to air-methane (while you are doing oxygen-methane only); therefore, the presence of N2 drops the adiabatic temperature considerably. I think 6000+ [K] is still high, but if the solution converged, the adiabatic flame temperature is determined by pure thermodynamics, i.e. enthalpy balances and not CFD.

What are the conditions for the adiabatic flame temperature value you are reporting ? Are there other species for such conditions ?

Hope the above helps,
