... provides a conceptual understanding of the changes in the mean flow field caused by the PIM. Combustion experiments were conducted at atmospheric pressure using HfC/SiC coated open-cell foam structures of different pore sizes and shapes. Measurements of sound pressure level (SPL) and CO and NO x emissions...

...A. G. Straatman; N. C. Gallego; Q. Yu; B. E. Thompson Experiments are presented to quantify the convective heat transfer and hydrodynamic loss that is obtained by forcing water through blocks of porous carbon foam (PCF) heated from one side. The experiments were conducted in a small-scale water...

... with platinum-coated foam materials of various porosity and surface area. For near stoichiometric propane-air mixtures, exit gas temperatures of 1100 K were achieved at mass flow rates in excess of 0.35 g ∕ s . This corresponds to a power density of ∼ 1200 MW ∕ m 3 ; an 8.5-fold increase over the maximum power...
