Numerical study of an integrated miniature ejector for catalytic micro-combustors

Guangyao Yang et al.

Summary: This study proposed an integrated micro-ejector for providing a mixture of n-butane and air to micro-combustors. The effects of fuel jet velocity and geometrical parameters of the ejector on the entrainment ratio were numerically investigated. The findings suggest that increasing the nozzle diameter leads to a sharp decrease in the entrainment ratio, while increasing the diameter of the mixing section can drastically augment the entrainment ratio. Additionally, increasing the total area of air inlets gives rise to a drastic decrease in the entrainment ratio, showing the importance of optimizing these design parameters for micro-ejectors.
