A novel flow reactor for the study of heat-loss effects on turbulent flame propagation

A novel flow reactor is proposed for the study of heat-loss effects on the propagation of turbulent premixed flames. This Taylor-Couette flow reactor allows the stabilization of a premixed flame in a stationary, high-intensity turbulent flow and the examination of the role of heat transfer from the...

Description
Summary:A novel flow reactor is proposed for the study of heat-loss effects on the propagation of turbulent premixed flames. This Taylor-Couette flow reactor allows the stabilization of a premixed flame in a stationary, high-intensity turbulent flow and the examination of the role of heat transfer from the flame (to the walls of the apparatus) on the experimentally observed quenching of the premixed flame at high turbulence intensities. The key advantages and design parameters of the flow reactor are identified and discussed.
