Identification of Ignition and Combustion Characteristics by a Micro Flow Rector with a Temperature Gradient
update：2020-06-16
Features
We have developed a methodology for identifying general ignition and combustion characteristics of gaseous and liquid fuels including bio and synthetic fuels. It enables identification of ignition and combustion characteristics of new fuels prior to application for practical combustion devices. The reactor system consists of a small diameter channel which has a temperature gradient from room temperature to the auto ignition temperature and thus reaction characteristics in different temperature levels can be easily investigated. Such a measurement had required research level skills and special devices such as rapid compression machine or shock tube which is costly in general, however, the micro flow reactor with temperature gradient enables reaction analysis easily.Targeted Application(s)/Industry
It is expected to contribute to the designing of combustion devices, developments of new fuels, and chemical promoter and inhibitor.Researchers
