Flame Stabilization and Multimode Heat Transfer in Inert Porous Media: A Numerical Study

Experimental study, 1D volume-averaged calculations and 3D direct pore level simulations of the flame stabilization in porous inert media at elevated pressure

“…(41) Equation (41) with Eq. (38) yields an expression for the temperature variation in the cross sectional plane:…”

Design and development of a SPMB (self-aspirating, porous medium burner) with a submerged flame

“…The resulting burning velocity is significantly greater than the laminar flame speed [8] with the substantial increase in combustion efficiency [9] and extension of the ranges of flammability and flame stability [9,10]. In addition to these, flame stabilized in the PMB has shown low emissions of CO and NO x (as low as 5e35 ppm and 10e120 ppm, respectively) [11] and high radiant efficiencies (as highs as 26e40 percent depending on equivalence ratio) [12].…”

Numerical simulation of laminar premixed combustion in a porous burner

“…Echigo [2] divided a porous burner into three regions in the simulations, an upstream region where no reaction occurs, so that the gas and solid temperatures were constant; a combustion zone where the one-step combustion reaction goes to completion; and an exit zone where the gases leaving the combustion zone again undergo further reaction. Sathe et al [3] numerically studied the laminar premixed combustion with the one-step reaction mechanism and explained the relationship among the flame location, the equivalence ratio and the mass flowrate. The influences of different porous materials on the combustion efficiency and the radiative heat flux were presented, too.…”

“…Premixed combustion in inert porous media has been widely studied theoretically and experimentally [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
