Pulsating Burners - Controlling Mechanisms and Performance. Model analysis of test data shows that the frequency of pulsations are a function of combustor volume, and the combustor thus behaves as a Helmholtz resonator. Combustion occurred largely in the mixing chamber. Fuel and air jets entered the mixing chamber, collided and mixed. The new reactants are ignited by entrained radicals remaining from the previous cycle.
Ignition occurs at the location and time at which the two reactant streams first mix.
The combustion then spreads in two opposing vortices. The reaction process never ceases in the cycle. You must be a registered user to purchase this document. Register Now Purchase this Document Hard Copy - Quantity Check this box to purchase a hard copy. Some older reports may take 1-2 weeks.
