High Pressure Reactant Vessel

The High Pressure Reactant Vessel (HPRV) described below was designed as part of the 1984-86 GRI contract, in order to study the changes in flow dynamics as a reacting jet proceeds from a fully momentum driven to a fully buoyant regime. The facility will allow operation over a wide range of Reynolds number, Damkohler number and heat release rate. In addition, it should be possible in future to study reacting jets in crossflow, opposed flames or any other configuration which takes advantage of the wide pressure range of the facility.
