Recent stringent emission regulations and depletion of energy sources have imposed special requirements on combustion technologies for the new millennium. By now it is well known that hydrocarbon sources, the bedrock of economic wealth and combustion science, are being depleted 100 000 times faster than they are being replenished. These factors will no doubt demand the development of novel combustion techniques. Among other concepts, combustion in a porous media offers a possible technological breakthrough and solutions for the near and long term. It can provide the basis for development for new combustion systems. The study of porous media phenomena itself can be a multidisciplinary field ranging from mechanical and chemical to geological and petroleum applications [1]. |
