What is Characterization of a Toroidal Well Stirred Reactor about?

A stirred combustion reactor has been deveoped to provide substantially better mixing characteristics than in the classic spherical design. Mixing is achieved in a toroidal design with a high velocity swirling flow. The premixed fuel and air enter tile reactor at sonic velocity through 32 jets located on the outside circumt~rence of the toroid. The jets are angled so that they can penetrate and be rapidly dispersed intn the swirling flow. The reactor exhausts through ports on the inside circumference of the toroid. For fuel lean conditions, time average temperature is evenly distributed in the reactor; however, under fuel rieh conditions the temperature is lower thau average at the centerline and at the walls. Time resolved measurements of ion concentration, in an ethylene flame, show no evidence of unburued eddies. A theoretical study of the reactor behavior fbr CO + He combustion with heat losses based on a comprehensive reaction scheme is compared with experimental data for temperature and blowout, with good agreement. Soot free toluene and ethyleue combustion was possible in the reactor with substantially less oxygen than reported in the literature for hemispherical reactors. A
