Burning of Hydrocarbon Fuels Directly in a Water-based Heat Carrier: Toward to a New Principle of Operation of Heat Generators

摘要

A principal possibility of burning hydrocarbon fuels directly in a water-based heat carrier is demonstrated. The first experimental results are presented by an example of burning acetylene in water with initiation of gas ignition in the bubble by an electric discharge. A model of dynamics and explosion of a single bubble is used for estimation the efficiency of the process under consideration. The energy of the acoustical radiation and characteristic times of the heat transfer processes are calculated. The experimental results and theoretical calculations show that it is possible to pass to the new principles of operation of heat generators.
