Abstract:
1. An oxidizer comprising: a reaction chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet configured to accept a gas mixture comprising a low-energy-content (LEC) fuel and at least one of the group of a high-energy-content (HEC) fuel, an oxidant-comprising (OC) gas, and a diluent-containing (DC) gas, the gas mixture being at an initial temperature below an autoignition temperature of the gas mixture; a heat exchange media disposed within the reaction chamber; a first flow path from the inlet, the first flow path being connected to the inlet and passing through the media, which is hotter than the autoignition temperature of the mixture, until the mixture reaches a temperature above the autoignition temperature of the gas mixture, and a second flow path, following the first flow path, the second flow path being connected to the outlet, the second flow path being generally opposite to the first flow path; a controller, comprising
