Analysis of unsteady CH4/Air counterflow premixed flame into a newly designed plus-shaped channel is investigated in this study. The main objective is to explore the impact of platinum catalytic–coated walls of the combustion chamber on the flame characteristics and pollutant emissions. The OpenFOAM platform is used as a numerical simulation tool to investigate the effects of various equivalence ratios, from the range of lean to rich flames, and passing the reaction time on the counterflow flame characteristics and pollutant emissions of a plus-shaped chamber with the platinum catalyst–coated wall. Results show that the integrated temperature over the proposed geometry with platinum surfaces increases by 18% compared to the non-catalytic case. The numerical simulation revealed that presence of the platinum catalyst on the wall of the chamber has significant impact on reducing the pollutant emissions. This is evident as a 99.5% decrease on NO2 emission and a 58% reduction on CO2 formation are found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
