Effects of hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4) and propylene (C3H6) blending on the ignition delay time ofn-heptane/toluene mixtures were numerically studied under both homogeneous and nonpremixed counterflowing conditions. In both configurations, results reveal that the addition of H2and C2H4is beneficial to promote ignition, while the addition of CH4and C3H6inhibits ignition at atmospheric pressure. The blending effects of H2, CH4and C2H4at elevated pressures are similar to that at atmospheric pressure. However, the inhibiting effect of C3H6becomes weaker under higher pressures. At the same mole blending ratio, in a homogeneous system, C2H4blending has stronger promotion effect than H2blending, but in the nonpremixed counterflowing configuration, the results are opposite. The effect of light gas blending is barely caused by the changes of the thermophysical properties; instead, it is dominated by the changes of chemical kinetics, including the changes of the rates of the main endothermal branching reactions, main heat production reactions, and the radical formation reactions. Furthermore, for the homogeneous mixtures, H2addition directly enhances the main branching reaction H + O2<=> O + OH, while C2H4addition directly enhances the main exothermic reactions C2H4+ OH <=> C2H3+ H2O. CH4addition consumes OH and produces CH3to inhibit ignition. C3H6addition consumes H and OH to inhibit ignition. The ignition of a stretched nonpremixed flame begins on the high-temperature oxidizer side. Due to the stronger mass diffusivity of H2, the blended H2permeates to the oxidizer side with a higher temperature than the blended C2H4does. A small amount of H2blending results in much higher H, OH, CH3radicals, higher heat product rate, and thereby shorter ignition delay time than the C2H4blending. The effect is enhanced with increasing strain rate. In addition, the results reveal that the ignition delay time is only sensitive to the molecular transport of the externally-added light gas components, rather than that of the gas molecules generated by the fuel decomposition.
