Radiation Augmented Combustion.

Authors: Anthony E. Cerkanowicz; EXXON RESEARCH AND ENGINEERING CO LINDEN NJ CORPORATE RESEARCH LABS

Abstract:

Radiative initiation and enhancement of combustion in unsensitized fuel-air mixtures via the photodissociation of oxygen molecules and combustion intermediary species are being investigated. Pulsed VUV (vacuum ultraviolet) light sources and continuous UV (ultraviolet) light sources are being used for this purpose. Experimental efforts are directed at elucidation of light source conversion efficiency and spectral characteristics, and reactant mixture-photon interactions. A complementary effort involves the development of analytical capability required for modeling photochemical initiation and enhancement of combustion. (Author)
