Description:
Combustion in a premixed swirl combustor composed of confined concentric jets (5 cm and 10 cm diameter) were studied. The inner flow is fuel and air; the outer flow is air. Both flows may contain swirl either in the same or opposite directions. The combustor operates at one atmosphere without preheat; methane and propane were used as fuels. Related analyses and experiments were also performed for water flows and isotherm air flows. In these studies, a number of important concepts regarding premixing/prevaporized, swirl stabilized combustion were developed. Some of the more significant are discussed.
