Flow Characteristics in Cylindrical Combustion Chamber

Abstract

Combustion equipment of turbulent flows has usually been developed empirically, with only qualitative guidance from theory. The reason is that, although has relevant processes have long been understood qualitatively, no accurate and economical procedure has been developed for the quantitative prediction of the properties of flame. Because empirical development is expensive and slow, the need for a prediction procedure which would replace physical by computational experiments is very urgent. The studies which are about to describe are mainly intended to test the ability of the present procedure to provide predictions of temperature calculation of turbulent flows with combustion. It is interesting to note that the maximum-temperature isotherm forms a closed loop within the combustion chamber for the fuel velocity (VF=Vo and VF=05 Vo). When VF increased (VF=3Vo) fuel would escape from the chamber without burning.
