Combustion and Flame Stability.
Abstract
This report describes researcch undertaken to obtain a better understanding, for engineering and design purposes, of the behavioral characteristics of open combustible systems and of the roles and interactions of the various physical and chemical rate processes that are involved. The project on which this report mainly focuses is the stabilization, by feedback control, of steady states that are intrinsically unstable in a well-mixed combustor. Aside from being of fundamental interest in themselves, such stabilized states would apparently permit a more detailed study of combustion kinetics and of the nature of exothermic reacting flows than is otherwise possible. Results showing some computer-simulated stabilized states as well as experimental ones are presented.
