Description
Summary:The surface and gas-phase reactions in microscale catalytic combustion can directly influence the fuel combustion characteristics. In this study, the catalytic partial oxidation of a rich n-butane/air mixture in a microscale honeycomb ceramic reactor with and without catalyst is investigated by conducting experiments. Experimental results show that, depending on the reaction temperature, the oxidation process of the rich n-butane/air mixture can be generalized into three regions, namely, controlled by surface reaction at low temperature (T770K), and controlled by combined surface/gas-phase reaction at medium temperature (600K
