Emissions and wall temperatures for lean prevaporized premixed gas turbine combustor

Experimental studies are carried out for investigating emission and wall temperature for traditional gas turbine combustor converted to lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustor. Vortex chamber, air preheating system, flat flame burner and inlet temperature control system are designed. Vortex chamber was maintained at the main air inlet port for controlling secondary air flow rate and wall temperature. Kerosene/air mixture temperature at exit from burner and entering combustion chamber was kept constant at 650 K for all runs. Special considerations were given for measuring NO_X, UHC, CO, local A/F ratio, flame temperature, exhaust gases temperature and wall temperature. For swirl and non swirl cases, secondary air ratio and primary zone air/fuel ratio were varied. The different operating parameters affecting flame temperature through it is affecting on local A/F ratio which is the main parameter for controlling flame temperature, emissions and walls temperatures. Flat flame burner and vortex chamber are useful tools for reducing emission and controlling walls temperatures. The inner liner wall temperatures are more affected by primary zone equivalence ratio while the outer liner wall temperatures are more affected by secondary air flow rate. Semi empirical correlations for NO_X, UHC and CO concentrations, exhaust gases temperature and maximum inner liner wall temperature are carried out. Good agreement between the measured and the calculated results are obtained. The present results are useful for further development of the traditional gas turbine combustor converted to LPP combustor.     

高浓度丙酮VOCs高温预热近极限贫燃预混火焰特性的数值分析

为进一步对一种丙酮挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）焚烧炉进行设计优化和运行参数调节,本文对其在不同的燃料当量比、预热温度下的火焰特性进行了数值模拟,分析了其绝热火焰温度、着火延迟时间、火焰传播速度和一维火焰产物分布特性。研究结果表明：典型当量比（约0.113）下的绝热火焰温度为850~900℃,属于中低温燃烧,绝热火焰温度随预热温度和当量比（0.06~0.4）的升高均线性升高。预热温度和化学当量比对着火延迟时间的影响十分敏感。在其典型贫燃条件下,层流火焰传播速度随预热温度升高呈指数函数关系增大,随化学当量比增大而缓慢升高,且其层流火焰传播速度不超过150cm/s。反应过程首先发生丙酮的分解和部分氧化,并持续时间较长,仅当混合物的温度升高一定程度后才发生较剧烈的CO氧化。

Two-dimensional Simulation for Hydrogen/Air Combustion in a Monolith Reactor

Recent studies on hydrogen combustion were reviewed briefly. The laminar flow and combustion of premixed hydrogen/air mixture in a cylindrical channel of a monolith reactor with and without catalytic wall was numerically modeled by solving two-dimensional (2-D) Navier Stokes (N S) equations, energy equation, and species equations. Eight gas species and twenty reversible gas reactions were considered. The control volume technique and the SIMPLE algorithm were used to solve the partial differential equations. The streamlines of the flow field, temperature contours, the entrance length, and the concentration fields were computed. It is found that the entrance zone plays an important role on flow and temperature as well as species distribution. Therefore, the flow cannot be assumed either as fully developed or as plug flow. There is a small but strong thermal expansion zone between the wall and the entrance. Both diffusion and convection affect the heat and mass transfer processes in the expansion zone. Thus the equations of momentum, energy and species conservations should be used to describe hydrogen/air combustion in the monolith reactor. The hot-spot location and concentration field of the homogeneous combustion is strongly influenced by the inlet velocity and temperature, and the equivalence ratio. The catalytic combustion of premixed hydrogen/air mixture over platinum catalyst-coated wall in a cylindrical channel was also simulated.     

Premixed filtration combustion of micron and sub-micron particles in inert porous media: A theoretical analysis

An analytical model for one-dimensional premixed filtration combustion of volatile fuel particles-air mixture is presented. It is presumed that fuel particles first vaporize and a gaseous fuel with definite chemical structure is formed, which is subsequently oxidized in the gas phase. Flame structure is considered in the three zones. In the preheating vaporization zone, the mixture is heated until it reaches ignition temperature. In the reaction zone, the combustible mixture burns and the post flame zone is occupied by the combustion products. The temperature and mass fraction profiles are obtained of gaseous fuel in these three zones at a semi-infinite inert porous media. Thereafter, the effects of various parameters such as gas velocity, porosity, fuel particles diameter, number density of fuel particles, and heat of chemical reaction on the temperature and mass fraction profiles are investigated.     

预测生物质颗粒热解时热损失影响的分析模型(英文)

This paper presents the combined influence of heat-loss and radiation on the pyrolysis of biomass parti-cles by considering the structure of one-dimensional, laminar and steady state flame propagation in uniformly pre-mixed wood particles. The assumed flame structure consists of a broad preheat-vaporization zone where the rate of gas-phase chemical reaction is small, a thin reaction zone composed of three regions：gas, tar and char combustion where convection and the vaporization rate of the fuel particles are small, and a broad convection zone. The analy-sis is performed in the asymptotic limit, where the value of the characteristic Zeldovich number is large and the equivalence ratio is larger than unity （i.e. u 1？ ≥ ）. The principal attention is made on the determination of a non-linear burning velocity correlation. Consequently, the impacts of radiation, heat loss and particle size as the de-termining factors on the flame temperature and burning velocity of biomass particles are declared in this research.     

甲烷/乙烷/空气预混火焰层流燃烧速度与火焰稳定性的数值研究(英文)

A numerical study on premixed methane/ethylene/air flames with various ethylene fractions and equivalence ratios was conducted at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The effects of ethylene addition on laminar burning velocity, flame structure and flame stability under the condition of lean burning were investigated. The results show that the laminar burning velocity increases with ethylene fraction, especially at a large equivalence ratio. More ethylene addition gives rise to higher concentrations of H, O and OH radicals in the flame, which significantly promotes chemical reactions, and a linear correlation exists between the laminar burning velocity and the maximum H + OH concentration in the reaction zone. With the increase of ethylene fraction, the adiabatic flame temperature is raised, while the inner layer temperature becomes lower, contributing to the enhancement of combustion. Markstein length and Markstein number, representative of the flame stability, increase as more ethylene is added, indicating the tendency of flame stability to improve with ethylene addition.     

Study on flame structures and emissions of CO and NO in Various CH<Subscript>4</Subscript>/O<Subscript>2</Subscript>/N<Subscript>2</Subscript>–O<Subscript>2</Subscript>/N<Subscript>2</Subscript> counterflow premixed flames

An oxygen-diluted partially premixed/oxygen-enriched supplemental combustion (ODPP/OESC) counterflow flame is studied in this paper. Flame images are obtained through experiments and numerical simulations with the GRI-Mech 3.0 chemistry. The oxygen dilution effects are revealed by comparing the flame structures and emissions with those of a premixed flame and partially premixed flame (PPF) at the same equivalence ratio (?_Σ = 0.95 and ? _f = 1.4). The results show that both PPF and ODPP/OESC flames have distinct double flame structures; however, the location of the premixed combustion zone and the distance between premixed/nonpremixed combustion zone are significantly different for these two cases. For the ODPP/OESC flame, the temperature in the premixed combustion zone is lower and the premixed zone itself is located farther downstream from the fuel nozzle, which leads to reduction of NO and CO emissions, as compared to those of the PPF. Therefore, by adjusting the distribution of the oxygen concentration in the premixed and nonpremixed combustion zones, the ODPP/OESC can effectively balance the chemical reaction rate in the entire combustion zone and, consequently, reduce emissions.     

Controlled three-stage heat release of stratified charge compression ignition (SCCI) combustion with a two-stage primary reference fuel supply

This paper discusses the heat release mode and its effect on combustion characteristics of stratified charge compression ignition (SCCI) combustion with a two-stage fuel supply. To create and control the fuel concentration stratification, composition stratification, and temperature stratification, primary reference fuels or their mixtures were supplied from the intake port, while n-heptane was directly injected into the cylinder near the top dead center of the compression stroke. To achieve a controllable staged heat release and to optimize the thermal efficiency and emissions, important factors, including premixed fuel properties, direct injection timing, the overall equivalence ratio, and the premixed ratio were tuned to modulate the heat release pattern. The experimental results revealed that, with the port fuel injection of a two-stage reaction fuel, the heat release curve of the SCCI combustion exhibits a three-stage heat release pattern. The in-cylinder fuel delivery advance angle plays an important role in the indicated thermal efficiency, and the earlier fuel delivery angle has a positive effect on the indicated thermal efficiency. It should be noted that an excessively advanced fuel delivery angle will lead to a sharp increase of NOx emissions. With the port fuel injection of PRF50, both fuel efficiency and ultra-low NOx emissions were obtained over wide ranges of the premixed ratio and the equivalence ratio. Moreover, the experimental results suggest that a higher premixed ratio for low-to-medium equivalence ratios and a smaller premixed ratio for larger equivalence ratios are preferred. The maximum thermal efficiency was observed at the zone with the earlier CA50 but with shorter burn duration. NOx levels were determined not only by CA50 and burn duration but also by the heat release mode. One-stage SCCI combustion, which was dominated by the diffusion burn, exhausted considerable NOx emissions, compared to the staged heat release mode.     

Ammonia combustion at elevated pressure and temperature conditions

This numerical study examines the combustion characteristics of premixed ammonia-air mixtures, with equivalence ratios around unity, at elevated pressure and temperature conditions which are encountered in SI engine operations. The laminar burning velocity, final flame temperature and species concentrations were determined using Konnov’s mechanism [18]. A flat, freely propagating flame was considered. Both equivalence and compression ratios have an important impact on both the laminar burning velocity and the adiabatic flame temperature. Furthermore, only the variation of the equivalence ratio has a major impact on the formation of nitrogen monoxide. It was found that the compression ratio and the final temperature do not have a significant impact on NO yields for equivalence ratios above unity.     

Effect of preheating on synthesis of tantalum nitride by self-propagating combustion

An experimental investigation of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) of tantalum nitride (TaN) was conducted with tantalum compacts in nitrogen of 0.27–1.82 MPa. Effects of sample density, nitrogen pressure, and preheating temperature on the flame-front propagation velocity, combustion temperature, degree of conversion, and product composition were studied. Results showed that the SHS process of the tantalum/nitrogen reaction was characterized by the steady propagation of a planar combustion front, followed by a prolonged afterburning reaction. The flame-front velocity increased with nitrogen pressure, but decreased with sample density. Preheating the sample prior to ignition contributed higher combustion temperatures, thus leading to an increase in the conversion percentage. For the unpreheated samples, the conversion increased significantly with nitrogen pressure and reached around 80% at 1.82 MPa of N₂. With preheating temperatures between 150 and 300 °C, the conversion was increased by about 15% when compared with that without preheating. The nitride phase TaN was identified by XRD as the dominant composition in the combustion product.

Adiabatic premixed combustion in a gaseous fuel porous inert media under high pressure and temperature: Novel flame stabilization technique

This work presents an experimental investigation to study the characteristics of combustion using a premixed methane-air mixture within a non-homogeneous porous inert medium (PIM) under high pressure and temperature. In order to obtain a stable flame under these operating conditions within PIM, a novel flame stabilization technique in porous inert media (PIM) combustion under high pressure and temperature has been developed and evaluated. The proposed technique avoids the draw backs of the hitherto developed techniques by properly matching the flow and flame speeds and, consequently, ensuring a stable combustion, for a wide range of operating pressure and temperature. The success of this technique permits the extension of PIM combustion to new applications such as gas turbines. The validity of this new technique has been assessed experimentally in detail by analyzing combustion inside a prototype burner. The effects of various operating conditions, such as initial preheating temperature and elevated pressure, have been examined for an output power range between 5 and 40 kW. The experiments covered a broad spectrum of operating conditions ranging from a mixture inlet temperature of 20 °C and pressure ratio of 1 up to a temperature of 400 °C and a pressure ratio of 9. Evaluation of the results revealed excellent flame stability with respect to both flashback and blow-out limits throughout all the operating conditions studied, including relative air ratios far beyond the normal lean limit. While the blow-out stability showed no significant dependence on pressure, it was strongly determined by the preheating mixture inlet temperature. A remarkable broadening of the stability range from 0.6 to 1.0 on preheating to 400 °C was observed. This reveals the potential of pre-heat temperature to improve the dynamic modularity of the burner.
