Abstract:
A numerical study on methane/air combustion inside a microchannel was undertaken to investigate the effects of geometry of microchannel on combustion characteristics. The simulation results show that the flame front shifts downstream and the distribution of temperature gradient and reaction rate decreases as the gap increases. When the gap of microchannel equals to 0.6 mm, the temperature of walls and fluid temperature in areas after flame both decrease with the walls thickness increase from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. Whereas, when the walls thickness is larger than 0.3 mm, it has a little effect on fluid and walls temperature as the walls thickness increases. When the gap of microchannel equals to 1.0 mm, the walls temperature and fluid temperature decrease with the increasing of walls thickness.
