Abstract

The wall temperature distribution and cooling effectiveness are crucial characteristics for evaluating air-cooled flameholder. Previous works show significantly changed flow and flame features in the near-wake region when inhaled cooling air jets, indicating that the flame and wall interaction is complex under the cooling jets and needs further investigation. Therefore, the present study focuses on identifying the effects of aerodynamic conditions on the cooling performance of the air-cooled flameholder. Experiments of wall temperature measurement are performed in a simplified augmented combustor. The typical flow and flame features are adopted to interpret the wall temperature distribution. Results show that the wall temperature rapidly decreases and becomes more uniform after added cooling air. Under the given conditions, the highest wall temperature is below 982 K, and the maximum wall temperature range is within 220 K. Enhancing blowing ratio and decreasing cooling air temperature are beneficial for improving the cooling effectiveness. Furthermore, increasing the equivalence ratio and mainstream velocity are helpful to improve cooling efficiency, although increasing the mean wall temperature. Interestingly, increasing the mainstream temperature (within 1000 K) slightly decreases cooling efficiency. Nevertheless, when the mainstream temperature reaches 1100 K, the cooling efficiency dramatically decreases due to the premixed fuel autoignition.
