Improvements in energy source are required for small electronic devices equipped with lithiumion batteries. Liquid hydrocarbon fuels have a much higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries, and therefore micro-combustors with liquid fuels are drawing attention. Since the evaporation of liquid fuel in a narrow space is required for micro-combustors, we use electrospray techniques. Combustion of liquid fuel in meso-scale combustor with wire mesh has been studied experimentally. The flame is stabilized behind the mesh without external heating. In this study, the inner diameter of combustor is almost equal to the quenching diameter. The flame stabilization condition for different inner diameters and fuel fractions is investigated.
