Experimental Characterization of a Hydrogen-peroxide- alcohol-based Combustor
The Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion
This paper presents experimental catalytic combustion of mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and ethanol
on a manganese di-oxide (MnO2) catalyst bed. During the experiments, the mixture was sprayed on the
heated MnO2 bed, where hydrogen peroxide decomposes to provide oxygen, which is used as an
oxidizer for ethanol generating steam and carbon-dioxide at high pressures. Various combustion
characteristics, such as rates of pressure rise, maximum pressures achieved…This paper presents experimental catalytic combustion of mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and ethanol
on a manganese di-oxide (MnO2) catalyst bed. During the experiments, the mixture was sprayed on the
heated MnO2 bed, where hydrogen peroxide decomposes to provide oxygen, which is used as an
oxidizer for ethanol generating steam and carbon-dioxide at high pressures. Various combustion
characteristics, such as rates of pressure rise, maximum pressures achieved, ignition delays etc. were
determined from the recorded chamber pressure. The paper analyses the above parameters for the
equivalence ratios of zero and one.Other authorsSee publication -
Modeling and Control for a Monopropellant-Powered Actuator
IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
This paper presents a physics based model for the process of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on a manganese di-oxide catalyst bed. This model is based upon reaction kinetics, and the thermodynamics of the process. An experimental setup is designed, and utilized to validate the model. During the experiments, hydrogen peroxide is sprayed on a heated manganese di-oxide bed, where it decomposes to release steam and oxygen at high temperatures, and pressures.

This paper presents a physics based model for the process of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide on a manganese di-oxide catalyst bed. This model is based upon reaction kinetics, and the thermodynamics of the process. An experimental setup is designed, and utilized to validate the model. During the experiments, hydrogen peroxide is sprayed on a heated manganese di-oxide bed, where it decomposes to release steam and oxygen at high temperatures, and pressures. These gases can be used to drive a pneumatic actuator. A solenoid valve is utilized to control the injection of the fuel into the chamber. For regulating the pressure in the chamber by controlling the injection of fuel, a pulse width modulation based control scheme has been developed. Preliminary control results for tracking of constant and low frequency sinusoidal reference pressure profiles are presented. These results further validate the model, and suggest that such a control approach may be feasible for driving a monopropellant-powered actuator.

Catalytic Combustion of Hydrogen Peroxide and Methanol Mixtures
The Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion
This report describes the combustion analysis of hydrogen peroxide and methanol (fuel and oxidizer mixture) in a constant volume hot gas generator. The major problems related to gasoline and DC powered systems are discussed. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition liberates steam and highly reactive oxygen. The final products are steam and carbon dioxide; both are harmless to environmental aspects. The combustion analysis of stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen peroxide and methanol mixture has…
This report describes the combustion analysis of hydrogen peroxide and methanol (fuel and oxidizer mixture) in a constant volume hot gas generator. The major problems related to gasoline and DC powered systems are discussed. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposition liberates steam and highly reactive oxygen. The final products are steam and carbon dioxide; both are harmless to environmental aspects. The combustion analysis of stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen peroxide and methanol mixture has been done. The detailed decomposition mechanism of hydrogen peroxide over manganese dioxide catalyst bed is explained. After obtaining the results from experimental setup, comparison with chemkin simulation results has been done.
