ABSTRACT:
A combustion system using a dilute hydrogen peroxide(H.sub.2 O.sub.2) solon as an oxidizer. The system uses the concept of Liquid Phase Extraction and eliminates part of the water produced during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water (H.sub.2 O) and oxygen (O.sub.2). The elimination of a part of the water produced during the decomposition allows the energy resulting from the combustion of oxygen and a fuel to be used to increase the prime mover performance of the system. The system comprises a decomposition chamber, a liquid/gas separator, a heat exchanger and a combustion chamber. Dilute hydrogen peroxide solution is catalytically decomposed in the decomposition chamber. The oxygen and the water produced during the decomposition of H.sub.2 O.sub.2 are separated by means of the separator. Some portion of the separated water is extracted. The mixture of oxygen and the remaining water is combined in the combustion chamber with the fuel and is ignited, producing hot gases under high pressure for a prime mover such as a turbine engine.
