“…MILD combustion relies on a strong recirculation of mass and sensible enthalpy by recycling the exhausted gases to dilute and simultaneously preheat fresh reactants (Wünning and Wünning, 1977;Katsuki and Hasegawa, 1998;Weber et al, 2000Weber et al, , 2005Tsuji et al, 2003;Cavaliere and de Joannon, 2004;Dally et al, 2004;Milani and Wünning, 2007;Khalil and Gupta, 2011;Saxena and Bedoya, 2013;Reddy et al, 2015). The intrinsic nature of the process is based on autoignition/fuel-ultra-lean kernels that increase in size while being transported by convection (Van Oijen, 2013;Minamoto and Swaminathan, 2015), imposed by high-turbulence exhausted gas recirculation fluid-dynamics patterns, thus defining a process with homogenous intensive parameters within the combustion chamber (Özdemir and Peters, 2001;Noor et al, 2013a;Sidey et al, 2014;Sidey and Mastorakos, 2015).…”
