Study on Direct Flame Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Using Flat Burner and Ethylene Flame

Forced Response: Laminar Flat Flame Burner

Since a large number of physical parameters influence the flame dynamics in a full scale gas turbine combustor, it is virtually impossible to develop physically correlated reduced order models for flame dynamics by directly studying these complex reacting flows. Even the Rijke tube combustor system, though comprising of a simple geometry and a flat flame, shows a strong nonlinear coupling betwe...

Experimental Investigation of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack using Direct Reforming Natural Gas

In this study, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack has been successfully fabricated and tested by using direct natural gas. The main objective of this research was to achieve optimal long-term performance of the SOFC stack without carbon deposition by using low-cost natural gas as a fuel. The stack configuration was improved by a new interconnect design and made of cost-effective raw materials...

A flat flame burner for the calibration of laser thermometry techniques

The design and experimental characterization of a burner is described, which has favourable characteristics for the accurate calibration of a range of optical thermometry techniques. The burner supports stable laminar flames and combines many of the advantages of several widely used burner designs without their disadvantages. It permits the application of point measurement techniques, line-of-s...
