Quantification of Auto Ignition Time and Ignition Delay for Methane Combustion Under Varying Initial Conditions of Pressure and Temperature

INTRODUCTION Auto-ignition occurs when a mixture of gases or vapors ignites spontaneously in absence of any external ignition source such as a flame or a spark. The temperature at which auto-ignition occurs is called the auto-ignition temperature. It is the lowest temperature in a system where the rate of heat evolved…
