Abstract

In this work, the computational fluid dynamics is used to model a micro torch. This is to investigate the effect of wall conductivity for different operating conditions on combustion characteristics as well as flame stability. The effect of convective heat transfer coefficient on the flame stability, out of the burner, is also studied. The results show that the wall conductivity and the convective heat transfer coefficient are very important to determine heat transfer to upstream. Finally, it is observed that if intermediate conductivity value of a wall is used, it can produce more stable combustion flame. In contrary, in very low and high conductivity, the flame becomes unstable. If the convective heat transfer coefficient of the outer fluid increases, flame becomes unstable again.
