The use of porous burner in combustion appliances finds widespread attention due to its inherent nature of low emission and high efficiency. This paper presents a finding on the effects of the porous medium (PM) configuration and operating parameters on the performance of a kerosene pressure stove equipped with Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Alumina (Al2O3) operating in the submerged combustion mode. The study covers three different diameter burners: 60 mm, 70 mm and 80 mm, and their thermal performances are assessed through thermal efficiency, emissions and radial temperatures at different air and fuel flow rates. The best performance is observed in the case of 70 mm diameter burner with a minimum of 44 ppm CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (oxides of nitrogen) similar to 1.5 ppm. An air flow rate range of 120-130 Ipm is found optimum. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
