Homogeneous Microcombustion Studies: Progress and Observations

Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Mark A. Shannon James W. Bayne Professor of Mechanical Engineering Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne Urbana IL, 61801-2906 ABSTRACT:In the past few years, there has been an intense interest in building very small engines, power plants, and high temperature microchemical reactors, all running on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels (due to their high inherent energy densities). While most systems employ catalytic and heterogeneous combustion processes, we wished to create and study high-temperature flames confined within burners with the smallest gap below 1 mm in length. The problem we immediately confronted is that flames either could not be created within narrow confined structures, or quenched quickly, similar to that which occurs in flame arrestors. We hypothesized that if we could have hot enough walls with low enough radical recombination probabilities, we could create and sustain homogeneous combustion in burners with sub-millimeter gaps. Therefore, we investigated a number of different wall materials and burner configurations, and found that flames of hydrogen, methane, propane, butane, and acetylene mixed with oxygen can be sustained in cavities as small as 100 microns, provided that the walls are sufficiently "quenchless." In addition, we have observed unusual flame structures at this scale, and flame dynamics that strongly vary with changes in temperature profiles. Homogeneously burning hydrocarbons in air at this scale has proved to be more difficult, requiring even higher wall temperatures and better thermal management. In this talk, I will present the experiments that we have conducted towards developing microcombustion-based systems, some of the observations I find interesting, what we now know is happening within the structures, and the many open questions that remain to be answered (hopefully!) by many of the excellent researchers working in combustion studies throughout the U.S. and world.

Progressive Degree Program Information Session
Wed, Sep 19, 2007 @ 05:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Affairs
Workshops & Infosessions
Thinking about graduate school? Did you know that Juniors and new Transfer students may be eligible to apply early and start graduate work during the Senior year? The Progressive Degree Program combines a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree and allows students to complete both degrees in fewer units than doing them separately. But, you have to apply as a Junior or in the second semester for most Transfer students! This information session will cover how the program works, the eligibility requirements and the application procedures. Come learn the details before the first application deadline on September 28, 2007!
Location: Ronald Tutor Hall of Engineering (RTH) - 211

SWE Resume Workshop
Wed, Sep 19, 2007 @ 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Have you made a resume yet? Is your old one in need of a makeover? SWE is putting on a workshop to help members create and perfect their resumes. A good career starts with a good resume, and the workshop is the perfect opportunity to get something ready for the SWE resume CD, the upcoming Career Fair, and the conference! A representative from Raytheon will be there to critique resumes and share his wisdom. If available, bring a copy of an old resume or a list of activities you have been involved in. Free food will be provided!
Location: Mark Taper Hall Of Humanities (THH) - 301
Audiences: Everyone Is Invited
