在微尺度催化燃烧中,由于燃料和氧气对于催化剂表面活性位的竞争,导致了可燃下限为富燃的情况。为了提高燃料利用率,拓宽可燃范围,本文在正丁烷/空气的混合气中加入一定量的氢气,在Swiss—roll燃烧器内研究了氯气/正丁烷/空气预混气的燃烧特性。结果表明,氢气能够有效拓宽正丁烷的可燃范围,可燃下限能够低于1,以贫燃的条件实现高燃料利用率。对于稳定燃烧温度的实验结果表明,燃烧器最高温度出现在富燃料一侧。
In micro catalytic combustion, due to the competitive adsorption between fuel and oxygen molecular on the catalyst surface, the lower combustion limits are at the fuel rich condition. To enhance the utilization of fuel and enlarge the flammable range, hydrogen was added into the n-butane/air mixtures. Then catalytic combustion characteristics of H2/n-C4H10/air mixtures in Swiss-roll combustor were studied. Experimental results indicate that the addition of hydrogen and enlarge the flammable range of n-butane and the lower limits is fuel lean. Thus the utilization of fuel is high. The steady state combustion experiments show that the highest temperature of combustor is at fuel rich.
