Reloading the save and placing the furnace inside a welded frame to insulate it (no loss of temperature or pressure) showed the following. The furnace reached 1477K and 19.90MPa after ignition. The fuel was added with a regulator (the furnace showed: 325kPa, 133K), the fuel mix was decent but not a perfect 1:2. Then the diluting O2 was added, it was slightly too cold (the furnace now showed: 1.16MPa, 130K), so a bit too much dilutant was added to the furnace (since cold gas has a lower pressure). The dilutant was inserted via the furnace outlet, checking the mol% with the tablet showed 3% H2 in the outlet pipe and 20% inside the furnace instead of 19% in both, the total number of H2 mol was unchanged. The temperature and pressure was really close to the calculated ones, even though the execution was a bit sloppy. The observed loss of temperature could be explained by using too much dilutant, using a lower starting temperature and a flawed fuel mix. The lower pressure is related to the temperature, going from 1500K to 1477K should mean -1.5% reduction in pressure, but the change was just -0.5%, an indication that too much dilutant had been added. | Reloading the save and placing the furnace inside a welded frame to insulate it (no loss of temperature or pressure) showed the following.
