Super-adiabatic combustion in particle filled combustor was experimentally conducted by premixed methane/air mixtures under the different combustion wave propagation. The super-adiabatic combustion temperatures were compared with those of the under-adiabatic combustion at different equivalence ratio, in addition to the combustion emissions at corresponding conditions. The influence of combustion wave propagation direction on flame temperature of super-adiabatic combustion was analyzed at the certain operation conditions. Results show that the rate of flame temperature increase at super-adiabatic combustion is much higher than that of the under-adiabatic combustion. The combustion temperature easily exceeds the adiabatic combustion temperature when the combustion wave propagates to the downstream, and the super-adiabatic combustion appears. The combustion temperature is less than the adiabatic combustion temperature easily when the combustion wave propagates to the upstream, and the under-adiabatic combustion appears. The CO emission at super-adiabatic combustion is lower than that of the under-adiabatic combustion at the certain operating conditions, but the NOx emission volume fraction is higher.
