Numerical Study of the Heat Radiation from the Porous Cylindrical Burner with Radiative Heat Exchange

Abstract

The problem of premixed gas combustion in porous cylindrical burner is investigated numerically. Two-temperature diffusional-thermal model taking into account radiative heat transfer described in the framework of Eddington model is applied. It was found that radiative heat transfer affects the characteristics of filtration combustion, such as temperature distribution and the flame radius, substantially. It is demonstrated that the overall heat flux from outer burner surface is significantly caused by heat radiation from the inner regions of the porous media. Account of the thermal radiation from the burner interior leads to the shift of the spectral power distribution maximum towards the short wave region in comparison with spectral density calculated on the base of burner outlet surface temperature.
