| Research Abstract |
The ignition and combustion tests were carried out using Carbon Nano Tube as an ignition source of lean mixtures. In the tests, combustion phenomena were recorded by a high-speed video camera and the pressures in the combustion chamber were recorded for analysis. Then, the effects of 1) Combustion pattern, 2) Energy of YAG laser, 3) Lean limit of mixture, and 4) Residual catalyst rate, on the ignition and combustion of lean mixtures were revealed quantitatively.
