Abstract

Synthetic gas (syngas) is primarily a mixture of hydrogen (H₂) and carbon monoxide (CO). Varying proportions of carbon dioxide (CO₂), steam (H₂O), nitrogen (N₂), and small quantities of hydrocarbons, mainly methane (CH₄), may also be present (Shilling and Lee, 2003). In order to employ syngas as a practical fuel for power and propulsion applications, detailed understanding and characterization of the key syngas combustion properties, such as self-ignition delay, flame speed, extinction limit, and heat-release rate, over a wide range of permissible fuel compositions, equivalence ratios, and operating conditions, will be necessary.
