Porous Inert Media

Porous burners offer a possible solution to attain higher combustion stability under premixed conditions with ultra low pollutant emissions. To analyze the feasibility of PIM (porous inert media) in energy conversion processes, studies at elevated pressure have been carried out. In the present work, burning velocity of natural gas-air mixtures for lean mixture conditions at elevated pressure is obtained in a conical PIM by determining the flame location using thermocouples. Pressure, thermal power, equivalence ratio and initial temperature were varied in order to study their effect on the flame stability. The pressure was varied from 1.1 to 14.0 bar, and initial temperatures from 300 to 400K. The burning velocity data obtained from present measurements show good agreement with literature data at atmospheric pressure. The results show that the burning velocities measured in PIM decreased non-linearly with increase in pressure. Also, the decrease in the burning velocity in the PIM with pressure is more pronounced for lean mixture conditions. Present results indicate that the PIM produces stable flames for a wide range of operating conditions and generate low pollutant emissions, which show that it is a potential alternative for conventional burners.
