The mixing and combustion performances of here a baffle-plate-type millimeter-scale confined multi-jet were investigated experimentally by measuring the blow-off limit of the flames, exhaust gas components and two-dimensional unburned flow velocity profiles in a cylindrical chamber.Two types of multi-jet nozzle, parallel- and swirl-type nozzles, were examined in this study.In the parallel-type case, a small change in the distance between the fuel and air nozzles showed significant effects on the blow-off limit.

When the air nozzles were closely located around the center of the chamber, the flame was easily extinguished and a pair of elongated flow recirculation was observed near the chamber sidewalls.When the distance was increased, large-scale reverse flows were observed in the central region that led to a stable and efficient moen rothbury faucet combustion.In the swirl-type case, swirl flows made the flame more stable.

Some cases of excessive swirl, however, deteriorate the fuel-and-air mixing performance and increase the CO concentration.
