The study of micro flame characteristics is an essential basis for developing micro combustors. Therefore, the non-premixed C3H8/air micro flame characteristics were experimentally studied. Flame length, flame shape and blow-out limit were studied by varyingthe equivalence ratio (?),the inlet velocity of C3H8/air (v)and angles of the burner. The results showed ignited non-premixed C3H8/air had 3combustion states: noflame, a stable flame, and a blow-out flame. Whether ignited non-premixed C3H8/air could form astable flame mainly depended on ? and v. In addition, total flame lengths increased with the increase of ? and v firstly. However, when ? increased to a certain value, total flame lengths were independent of ? and only affected by v. Moreover, flame length and shape were affected by the angle of the burner. Instead, the blow-out limit was found to be associated solely with ?, but not the burner angle. The findings of this study provided fundamental data for the development of high-efficiency microcombustors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
