Abstract:
The thermo-acoustic instabilities developed inside the combustor causes serious structural damage and reduces the life of power producing devices. The present work involves experimental investigation to assess effect of radial micro-jets air injection on thermo-acoustic instabilities and temperature in lateral planes. A co-axial pre-mixed gas burner used as the heat source inside the Rijke tube with variable location. Two types of Rijke tubes were used for experimental study, one is of steel with 75 mm internal diameter and 750 mm in length for the measurement of wall pressure, temperature and acoustics. •In the first part of the study, acoustic instability zone for different inlet mass flow rates was identified.•In the second part of study, the entire cross-sectional of Rijke tube was divided into 193 subzones and temperatures were measured at 193 locations when instability was present.•In third part, again temperatures were measured at 193 locations with implementation of control method with complete suppression of thermo-acoustic instabilities.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
