However, these other means (e.g., speaker actuation) tend to be bulky, have limited operating range, or have other undesirable side effects. In comparison, liquid fuel modulation is compact, more practical, and can deliver the most energy with the least effort. based control approach recently found to be effective for suppressing combustion instabilities in gas turbines.

Turbulent combustion is an important process in many technical applications, e.g. industrial gas furnaces used for heating water, production of steam and combustion in jet and diesel engines. To control the turbulent combustion, simulation tools with predictive power are required. The basic equations for turbulent combustion are well known, but their application to the complex flows appearing i...

The small radiant heaters that burn hydrocarbon fuels propane, butane, methane/natural gas and liquid hydrocarbon fuels are used widely because of their simple design, their portability, and the ready availability of fuels. The open flame heater presents obvious disadvantages as follows. An upset heater is a grave fire risk where the surroundings are flammable and this restricts usage in, for e...

An experimental study of the combustion of an aerosol of coarse magnesium particles in microgravity is reported. Particles with sizes between 180–250 mm were aerosolized in a 0.5-L combustion chamber and ignited in a constant-pressure, microgravity environment. Two flame images were produced simultaneously using interference filters separating adjacent MgO and black body radiation bands at 500 ...

In this study, the solution combustion method as a simple, fast, and cost-effective method was utilizedfor the fabrication of spinel nickel aluminate as a stable material to use in the esterification reaction.The effect of fuel amount (urea) as an important parameter of the solution combustion method on thestructure, properties, and performance of the sample was evaluated. The...
