Abstract Effect of wall thermal conductivity on hydrogen self-ignition and hydrogen-assisted ignition of propane-air mixtures in different feeding modes from
ambient cold-start conditions were investigated numerically with chemical kinetic model in Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalytic micro-combustors. For the steady
and transient state, effect of wall thermal conductivity on self-ignition characteristics of lean hydrogen-air mixtures was presented, and hydrogenassisted combustion of propane-air mixtures was investigated numerically in the co-feed mode and the sequential feed mode. The computational
results indicate the large thermal inertia of the micro-combustor solid structure leads to slow temperature dynamics, and transient response is
dominated by… More >
