Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The modes of operation of a flow reactor with an inert inner body were investigated. A numerical study of the combustion of a methane-air mixture was performed. The parameter ranges of possible modes of reactor operation were determined depending on the dimensionless parameters of heat exchange of the mixture with the inert body and the side surface and the mixture flow parameter. The existence of non-uniqueness regions of operation modes is shown. The influence of the inert inner body on the distribution of the regions of possible modes of reactor operation is considered.
