Numerical study for the Evaluation of Radiation Efficiency of Wood Volatile Combustion in a Two-Layer Porous Radiant Burner
要約
This study presents a 2-D numerical analysis of wood volatile combustion in a double-layer porous radiant burner (PRB) at different equivalence ratios (ER) ranging from 0.75 to 0.9 and power input ranges from 1 kW − 3 kW. A finite volume
technique is adopted to solve governing equations including;
continuity, momentum, radiative transport equation, species
transport equation, and gas and solid phases energy equations.
The outcomes from the study revealed that the higher temperature is found in the central area of the burner and
decreases in the radially outward direction. The temperature
distribution along the longitudinal central line ruled out the
possibility of flashbacks. Further, the radiation efficiency
decreases with input power and increases with the ER. The
maximum radiation efficiency of 36.71 % is reached at 1 kW
and ER of 0.9, while the minimum of 25.96 % is reached at 3
kW and ER of 0.75.
