GASDYNAMIC STIMULATION OF COMBUSTION OF LEAN FUEL MIXTURES. 1. EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
O. V. Achasov, T. Kageyama, S. A. Labuda, T. Taillefet, and F. Fisson UDC 536.46 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.
