A Jet Stirred Reactor for Combustion Studies: Design and CharacterizationAbstract#x2013;A stainless steel jet stirred reactor (JSFR) has been designed and constructed, capable of operating under pressures up to 20 atm and temperatures up to 1000 K and residence times as short as 0.015 s.Complete mixedness has been experimentally checked by means of mass-spectrometric analysis of argon pulses in a nitrogen steady flow.A Nusselt type correlation has been developed to evaluate the heat transfer coefficient for this kind of reactors.JSF reactor technique has been applied to study the dynamic behaviour of air-stoichiometric mixtures of n.heptane and i.octane. Runs have been performed both at constant and variable operation pressure. Heat release rates (HRR) of combustion processes have also been systematically evaluated.
