Combustor Articles & Analysis

The work deals with the evaluation of applicability of reactor net models and different reaction mechanisms for the predictions of emission characteristics of aero-engine combustors operating both in diffusion and in homogeneous burning modes. It is shown that the accuracy of the calculations of emission indices for NO x , CO and unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) is dependent strongly on the applied ...

The entropy generation analysis is performed on a methane–air cylindrical microcombustor. The combustor is studied under different fuel–air equivalence ratios and two different inlet velocities. The results reveal that entropy generation due to heat transfer has the highest contribution to the total exergy destruction. Besides, the chemical and mixing entropy generations have the next greatest ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of bed height on the quality of rice husk ash in a 210–mm diameter pilot scale fluidised bed combustor. The degree of rice husk burning in the fluidised bed could be deduced from the temperature of the combustor and the particle size of the resulting ash. The turbulence in the bed would break down the char skeleton of the rice husk ...

A backward Lagrangian Monte Carlo modelling is proposed to calculate by post–processing the PDF of the thermo–chemical parameters of complex turbulent reactive flows simulated with a simple turbulent combustion model. PDF's of minor species such as pollutant species (NOx, soot, unburnt hydrocarbons...) can be easily obtained as long as these species have no significant influence on the main ...

The turboprop engine has played an important role in short haul commuter and military transport aircraft where high speed is not critical. It may provide the aviation sector with one of the most significant means of achieving reduced operating costs through reductions in fuel consumption. This paper deals with exergo–economic analysis of a modern turboprop engine (CT7–9C) with a free power ...

In the US market, there are over 20 companies aggressively marketing “Combustors” for the US Upstream market with various claims about performance, EPA NSPS 0000a “Compliant” designs and/or EPA NSPS 0000a “Certified” designs. With all of the mixed messages, what do you really need to know, and what do you need to consider so that you don’t ...

Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the most interesting combustion technologies to meet both the targets of high process efficiency and low pollutant emissions. The present investigation is concerned with the application of the flameless combustion mode to an adiabatic combustor, typically used in gas turbine engines. Detailed chemical kinetics calculations, by means of a ...

In order to improve thermal efficiency of gas turbine system and better control NOx emission, the injection of steam into a gas turbine combustor has been employed. This study has used both chemical equilibrium calculations and the counterflow diffusion flame calculations of methane-air flame aiming at the elucidation of the NOx reduction mechanism due to the steam injection. The influence of the ...

An exergy analysis of a twin ABB GT13E2 Gas Turbines (GTs) power plant (2 ? 146.2 MW) is presented in this paper. This plant is running since 2004 at F'Krina in the northeastern part of Algeria. The analysis was performed by the flow-sheet programme, 'Cycle-Tempo'. At off-design load (83%), the plant and its apparatus conserve nearly the same design load performances. However, the performance of ...

In the present paper, the Thermo-Catalytic Decomposition (TCD) of methane has been investigated in a laboratory-scale bubbling fluidised bed reactor using copper dispersed on γ-alumina as a catalyst. The usefulness of a fluidised bed operation instead of a fixed bed operation has been assessed in terms of methane-to-hydrogen conversion and the amount of carbon accumulated on the catalyst. The ...
