Abstract

We studied combustion modes experimentally for a lean fuel mixture of propane-air, including combustion of a quiescent mixture, combustion with annular gas swirling, and combustion stimulated by the jets of a burning gas that are injected into the combustion chamber (pulsed jet combustion — PJC). It is shown that, in providing a maximum combustion rate, the PJC mode has an obvious advantage in initiation of combustion of extremely lean fuel mixtures over other gasdynamic combustion modes.
