Abstract
This research paper proposes an experiment of the combustion behavior of LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) on a packed-bed sphere porous burner. Alumina-Cordierite ball having average diameter (d) of 1.55 cm and porosity (e) of 0.396 was employed as porous medium. The volumetric premixed-gas velocity (Vmix) in the range of 5 – 30 m3/h was supplied to the porous matrix by regarding with stable flame and reporting in term of equivalence ratio (F). To clarify the combustion behavior, the temperature along the burner length was measured and the exhaust gases, CO and NOx, were monitored at the exit burner. From the experiment, it was found that the value of F of stable flame was in the range of 0.76 – 1.2. Temperature profile increased with F and Vmix. The amount of CO and NOx released from the present gas porous burner was acceptable low level.
