As one of the next-generation energy sources to replace the current lithium-ion battery, micro-combustors using hydrocarbon fuels with high energy density are attracting attention and have been studied widely. We conducted experiments of burning propane/air mixtures inside a small-diameter quartz glass tube combustor inserting a metal mesh. We varied the quartz glass tube thickness for the purpose of expanding the flame stabilization range. The temperature distributions on the outer tube wall or the wire mesh were also measured using infrared thermography cameras.
