Abstract

The purpose of this work is developing the numerical 1D model of porous media combustion for investigating porous media burner systems. The software is used to solve energy, mass transfer and chemical reaction equation of the combustion. The operating condition and property parameters, which mainly affect the functions and quality of the industrial burner design, such as the inlet velocity of the reactants, the equivalence ratio, the extinction coefficient and the thermal conductivity of porous media, will be investigated and validated with experimental data. For developing the procedure of experiment, three diameter sizes of porous media materials (5 mm, 10 mm, and 15 mm.) were used. As a result, the developed model will be used as a tool to explore temperature distribution of heat exchange to improve thermal performance and overall efficiency system. Moreover, this knowledge can be applied to design porous media burner systems for uniform temperature distribution operation.
