Abstract
Dimethyl ether (DME) is used as a gaseous fuel which has many merits, and easy to transport and store. Catalytic combustion is a promising method to attain stable low temperature combustion. However, DME has less activity of catalytic combustion in comparison with hydrogen and methanol. Nonetheless, there is still few in a report of a study about the catalytic combustion of DME. The main objective in the present study is to investigate fundamental characteristics of DME catalytic combustion. The results showed that O_2 concentration of premixed gas affects the steady and transient behavior of DME catalytic combustion.
