The Effects of Surface Shape of Microchannels on Methane/Moist Air Catalytic Combustion

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studied the methane/moist air combustion characteristics in smooth microtube and microtubes with five different shape grooves and proposed the microtube groove dimensionless shape factor F=4πS/L2. The results show that the appearance of five grooves make combustion components and velocity occur jumping change and the vortex flow appears. The highest methane conversion rate is for the microtube with triangle grooves, which also indicates that the smaller shape factor is more in favor of methane conversion.
