Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Clean combustion technology is crucial in reducing the negative impact of combustion on the environment and human health, and as a result, it has garnered significant attention from researchers worldwide. Developing advanced technology in clean combustion has become a priority in the research community as it enables the development of more efficient and less polluting combustion systems. While significant progress has been made in developing clean combustion technologies, there is still much room for improvement in terms of reducing emissions and improving energy efficiency. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue in Fire on “Advanced Technology in Clean Combustion”.

This Special Issue aims to provide insights into the latest progress in advanced technology in clean combustion. This involves exploring new combustion concepts and designs, such as low-emission burners, oxy-fuel combustion, chemical-looping combustion and flameless combustion. Additionally, advanced techniques for measuring and modeling combustion processes, such as laser diagnostics and artificial intelligence, can help researchers gain a deeper understanding of combustion mechanisms and optimize combustion performance. Multi-fuel technologies, such as fossil fuel, spent fuel, biofuels, ammonia, hydrogen and solid waste, can all be explored to determine their potential for clean combustion. Furthermore, advanced combustion control strategies can improve combustion performance and minimize pollutant emissions.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Advanced combustion systems (low-emission burner, oxy-fuel combustion, chemical-looping combustion, flameless combustion and catalytic combustion, etc.);
  • Multiple fuels (fossil fuel, spent fuel, biofuels, ammonia, hydrogen and solid waste, etc.);
  • Combustion diagnostics (laser diagnostics, flame imaging, etc.);
  • Computational modeling (advanced computational fluid dynamics techniques, artificial intelligence, advanced models, etc.);
  • Advanced combustion control strategies (model-based predictive control, dynamic optimization, adaptive and learning control, etc.).

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Microchannel burners suffer from low combustion efficiency and poor stability in applications. In order to explore the effect of wall reaction on methane/air premixed combustion performances in the microchannel, the effects of wall activity, inlet velocity, pressure, and equivalence ratio on the temperature and radical distribution characteristics were studied by CFD computational simulations. It is found that as the reaction pressure increases, there are more free-radical collisions, causing the reaction temperature to rise. The OH radicals participate in the reaction at the active near wall so that the mass fraction of the OH radical on the active wall is lower than that on the inert wall. As the equivalence ratio increases from 0.6 to 1.2, the high-temperature regions increase but the maximum temperature decreases. The mass fraction of OH radical increases with the increase of the equivalence ratio, and the increase of OH radical near the inert wall is larger than that of the active wall. As the flow rate increases, the disturbance increases, and the combustion reaction becomes more intense, resulting in an increase in the temperature and the mass fraction of OH radicals. The mass fraction of H, O, OH, and CH3 radicals in the inert wall was slightly higher than that in the active wall, in which the peak mass fraction of CH3 radical appeared at the axial position closest to the entrance, while the other three radicals reached the peak at about the same axial position. This study provides a reference for combustion stability in microcombustors. Full article
