Abstract:This work presents experimental and two-dimensional numerical investigations on the combustion characteristics of a plate-parallel diffusion filtration combustor with different packed bed heights. Experimental results show that two types of flame, namely, the immersed flame within the packed bed (flame I) and the surface flame above the pellets (flame II), coexist in the combustor for bed height 40 mm <= h <= 160 mm. Two luminous zones, which denote the reaction zone and the flame shape of the diffusion filtration combustion within the packed bed, are founded for 40 mm <= h <= 160 mm. For flame I, the width of the reaction zone is small and this is the feature of diffusion 'combustion. However, temperature measurement by infrared thermal imager shows that a wide high temperature zone locates in the packed bed, the temperature distribution is different from that of the typical diffusion combustion. The high temperature zone propagates downstream and its width in flow direction is enlarged as h increases. The diffusion filtration combustion is numerically simulated by two-dimensional and two-tempeprature model, in which the burner wall (quartz tube) is included in the computational domain to compute heat conduction in the wall and radiation through it. Predicted results verify the coexistence of two different flames in the combustor when h is small. At the same time, for flame II the maximum combustion temperature reaches 2265 K for u(0) = 0.06 m/s, d = 2.5 mm, Y (CH4,in) = 0.188 and the combustion temperature decreases significantly as h increases from 40 mm to 80 mm. The results help to understand the different combustion mechanisms in diffusion filtration combustor with different packed bed heights. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
