Abstract
In order to further optimize the working performance of micro-cylindrical combustor, the combustion chamber of the micro-cylindrical combustor is inserted in a rectangular rib. Extensive numerical investigations are conducted to compare the exergy efficiency of non-ribbed and rectangular-ribbed micro combustors under various hydrogen mass flow rates and hydrogen/air equivalence ratios. Moreover, the effects of dimensionless rib positions and heights on the exergy efficiency of micro-cylindrical combustor are also widely investigated. Results suggest that the exergy efficiency of the rectangular-ribbed micro combustor is significantly higher than that of the non-ribbed micro combustor under different inlet conditions. Moreover, the exergy efficiency of the rectangular-ribbed micro combustor is significantly affected by the dimensionless positions l. The optimum dimensionless l is increased with the increase of hydrogen mass flow rate. This work offers us significant reference for optimizing the micro combustor in energy utilization.
