Abstract: | Combined with need of the carbon emissions, the feasibility of Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion fueled with hydrogen/methane blends needs to be investigated. This paper discusses the pollutant emissions, the stable operating range and the flame morphology for a jet-induced MILD model combustor. The hydrogen/methane volume ratios range 0:10 to 5:5. The NOx emissions are less than 5 ppm@15%O2 when the hydrogen content is less than 50% by volume in the atmospheric conditions. The calculation using chemical reactor network (CRN) model demonstrates that the effect of heat loss on NOx emissions increases as the adiabatic combustion temperature increases, which is consistent with the experimental results. The maximum OH1 signal intensity increased at higher hydrogen content, especially when the hydrogen content exceeds 30% by volume. Due to the increase in turbulent burning velocity and the enhancement in the reaction intensity, the reaction zones shrink with increasing hydrogen content. In addition, with increasing hydrogen content, the stable operation range of the combustor becomes narrower, and the stable combustion is not maintained when the hydrogen content exceeds 50% by volume. The findings of the paper help to further understand the effect of hydrogen content on the formation of MILD combustion in the jet-induced combustor. |
