TL;DR: In this paper, the gas-phase ignition of fuel-lean hydrogen/air mixtures over platinum was investigated experimentally and numerically in laminar channel-flow configurations, and the differences between measured and predicted homogeneous ignition distances could be substantial (ranging from 8% to 66%, depending on the particular hetero/homogeneous schemes) and were ascribed primarily to the homogeneous reaction pathway.

TL;DR: In this paper, the catalytic combustion of fuel-lean methane/air premixtures over platinum was investigated experimentally and numerically in the pressure range 4 to 16 bar in an optically accessible, laminar channel-flow catalytic reactor.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the heterogeneous combustion of fuel-lean hydrogen/air premixtures over platinum in an optically accessible channel-flow catalytic reactor and included planar laser induced fluorescence (LIF) of the OH radical for the assessment of homogeneous (gas-phase) ignition, and 1-D Raman measurements of major gas-phase species concentrations for the evaluation of the catalytic processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the turbulent catalytically stabilized combustion (CST) of fuel-lean hydrogen/air premixtures over platinum was investigated experimentally and numerically in the entrance region of a channel.

TL;DR: In this article, the partial catalytic oxidation of methane to synthesis gas over Rh/ZrO2 was investigated experimentally and numerically at fuel-to-air equivalence ratios of 2.5 and 4.0 and pressures of 4 and 6 bar.
