Abstract To understand the effect of different thermal conductivities on catalytic combustion characteristics, effect of thermal conductivity on micro-combustion
characteristics of hydrogen-air mixtures in Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalytic micro-combustors were investigated numerically with detailed chemical kinetics
mechanisms. Three kinds of wall materials (100, 7.5, and 0.5 W/m·K) were selected to investigate the effect of heat conduction on the catalytic
combustion. The simulation results indicate that the catalytic reaction restrains the gas phase reaction in Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalytic micro-combustors. The
gas phase reaction restrained by Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalysts is sensitive to thermal boundary condition at the wall. For most conditions, the gas phase More >
