Flame stability and behavior inside meso-scale combustor with different flame holder

Investigation of Air Turbulence Intensity Effect on the Flame Structure in Different Flame Holder Geometry

In this paper, the effect of air turbulence intensity on the flame structure in various radii and lengths of a flame holder numerically studied. Finite volume method is used to solve the governing equations. The obtained numerical results using realizable k-ε and β-PDF models show a good agreement with the experimental data. The results show that flame holder with greater lengths yield shorter ...

The Effect of a Flame Holder Shape Modification Toward the Diffusion Flame Stability Zone Shift

The flame stability limit, which was involving the critical flow condition, lift off and blow out, could be affected by the burner geometry in the combustion system installation. Consequently a flame holder should be put in, to hold the flame as big as possible on a stable condition. The flame holder itself, is a device to hold the flame, whereas the flame holder could disturb the air and fuel ...

Effect of Heat Recirculation in Biomass Flame Stability within a Cylindrical Micro-Combustor (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Flame stability inside a cylindrical micro-combustor was studied. Considering occurrence of heat recirculation, the respective relations were written and with parameters such as motion speed of reactants, flame propagation speed and thermal conductivity of the combustor’s wall, flame stability and its location inside micro-combustor were studied. It was found that for each thermal conductivity ...

Small-scale flame dynamics provide limited insight into wildfire behavior.

Lean Premixed Flame Stability Investigations

Fellowship Experience Throughout my twelve-week fellowship at Pratt & Whitney I had the opportunity to interact with numerous engineers and managers as well as to be exposed to a variety of disciplines and areas of engineering. My mentor, Bill Proscia, is an expert in the field of combustion instability analysis and modeling. I gained valuable experience working on a combustion project under hi...
