Heat Loss in a Micro-Combustion Chamber

Abstract

Previous preliminary work to assess the viability of a laboratory-scale confined laser ignition chamber with a capacity of 0.500 cm3 as a micro-combustion bomb did not take into account corrections for heat loss. In this report, we address pressure corrections to account for radiative and convective heat loss for M10, JA2, WC450, and CL20. Our attempt to correct for heat loss with a dry blend of WC450 and CL20 was not successful.
