§  Low energy density VS §  Compact in size
Stabilization
§  Short operating time §  High energy density Heat adhesive
§  Bulky in size §  Long usage time Quenching Image of Type B combustor
§  Long charging time

Objectives
Flame stabilization limits for different type
To design a meso-scale combustor that: of combustors

§  use no catalyst

§  has a simple geometry
§  has good combustion stability and efficiency
Temperature distribution and
§  can be used for liquid fuels maximum temperature on the
wall surface of the unburned gas
Approach region

One of the approaches is to experimentally

investigate the effect of wall thermal
conductivity
Experimental setup
stainless steel wire mesh Maximum Values
Temperature measurement in
the burned gas region using an Type A : 796 K
infrared thermal camera Type B: 749 K
burned gas region Type C: 693 K
ceramic heat

Conclusions (with brass tube)
Quenching
§  Brass-brass tube combustor has the widest flammability
limits. Possible cause: intense heat recirculation
§  The heat recirculation effect can be offset by the Flame stabilization limits for Type A and Type D
combustors
transverse heat loss to the ambient
