  • CH4-H2 mixture explosion experiments were performed in a 20 L spherical explosion vessel with the equivalence ratio of 1. Gas proportion and ignition energy were varied to explore their effects on the explosion pressure and intensity. It is found that higher hydrogen proportion causes higher explosion shock wave propagation speed, while the ignition energy has little effects on the explosion shock wave propagation speed. Higher ignition energy can enhance the explosion overpressure, and this enhancement effect is remarkable when the hydrogen proportion is lower, and is not evident when the hydrogen proportion is higher. The effect of ignition energy on the explosion severity index KG is not evident, but the effect of hydrogen proportion on KG is remarkable. The positive effect of hydrogen addition on KG is very slight at low hydrogen proportion while it becomes much more pronounced at higher hydrogen contents. Furthermore, the explosion intensity of hydrogen is approximately tenfold of that of methane explosion with corresponding same equivalent ratio, and therefore, the presence of hydrogen will greatly enhance the explosion hazard of methane.
