Study of the Influence of Edge Effects During Fuel Combustion in a Closed Volume

An experimental study of the combustion of model pasty fuel in a constant volume (a manometric bomb) is presented. The definition of the combustion law of model pasty fuel is given, and the influence of edge effects on the fuel combustion surface due to the use of the container with the fuel and the central insert is considered. The possibility of increasing the combustion surface of paste-like fuel by creating longitudinal cylindrical channels in the sample under study using perforated plastic inserts was also investigated.
