Characteristics of Butane Combustion in Mesoscale–Combustor Due to Stainless Steel Flame Holder Type

Mesoscale–combustor is one component of the micropower generator. The mesoscale–combustor function to produce heat energy from combustion chemical hydrocarbon compounds. small dimensions meso-combustor cause large losses and short residence times for reactants. These two factors lead narrow flame flammability limits. This study aims increase limits by lengthening reactant time increasing mixing with inserts flow retardants called holders. There are kinds holders used in this study, namely holes lines. Lines type produces flames at an equivalent ratio Φ0.83–1.76 speeds 17.01 cm/s 72.93 cm/s, while Φ0.91–1.71 a rate 24.94 54.95 cm/s. phenomenon shows that line holder able inhibit better form vortices better, thereby recirculation, stability, widening
