Abstract The combustion and emissions characteristics of methane-air mixtures in high-temperature catalytic micro-combustors were studied numerically.
Both the heterogeneous and homogeneous chemistry were modeled simultaneously using detailed reaction mechanisms in order to better understand
the role of each pathway in determining the product distributions. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed at a variety of
pressures, temperatures, compositions, and combustor dimensions to determine their effects on the combustion and emissions characteristics.
Comparisons were made between the results obtained for a purely heterogeneous case, a purely homogeneous case, and a coupled homogeneousheterogeneous case. It was shown that homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistry take place… More >
