Experimental study of a plat-flame micro combustor burning DME for thermoelectric power generation

Effect of H2 addition on combustion characteristics of dimethyl ether jet diffusion flame

“…The low emission of NOx, reduction in noise generation, elimination of particulate emission, and higher engine thermal efficiency associated with DME were reported in the literature [6][7][8][9]. Besides, DME was also introduced into the fields of power generation [10][11][12], household cooking [13], ceramic kiln furnace [14], and industrial boiler [15,16] in the past few years. The superior combustion characteristics of DME in these combustion systems were reported.…”

Impacts of inner/outer reactor heat recirculation on the characteristic of micro-scale combustion system

“…Therefore, to decrease the size scale of the combustor, the flame thickness should be reduced first. Several approaches can be employed for flame thickness reduction such as, reducing the molecular distance by increasing the pressure, the application of specific oxidants or fuels with characteristic of higher burning velocity, and the catalytic reaction combustors to preserve the chemical chain reaction of termination [7][8][9][10]. However, the mentioned methods are not directly associated with combustor configuration design.…”

Experimental investigation of the performance of a liquid fuel-fired porous burner operating on kerosene-vegetable cooking oil (VCO) blends for micro-cogeneration of thermoelectric power

“…The hot source is commonly a burner, which is practically powered by gaseous or liquid hydrocarbon fuels. Various gaseous fuels with excellent availability, such as natural gas [16,30], propane [18], hydrogen [19], dimethyl ether [31], and butane [26,32,33] have been investigated, covering wide array of variables, to elucidate the performance of TE power generation systems. Meanwhile, studies on liquid fuel-fired burner for TE power generation are limited, and development has been modest and remains largely unexplored.…”
