Experimental Research On Iron Combustion At Eindhoven University Of Technology

摘要: The recent years, intensive experimental studies on iron combustion have been carried out by researchers of Power and Flow group of Eindhoven University of Technology. This work has been aimed on providing deep understanding of physical processes relevant to applications of iron powder as recyclable energy carrier for storing and transportation of “green energy”, namely, for energy generation by iron powder combustion within a so-called “dry” cycle. Research has been performed with different experimental setups designed and built to study iron flames of different levels of complexity, ranging from “fundamental” single particle and laminar aerosol flames to pilot designs of industrial burners. A brief review of these experimental studies and their results is provided in this paper.
