Download or read book Experiments and Numerical Simulations of Diluted Spray Turbulent Combustion written by Bart Merci and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the outcome of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion held in 2009 in Corsica (France). The focus is on reporting the progress of experimental and numerical techniques in two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. The motivation for studies in this area is that knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions in such flow systems is essential for the development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. This necessitates the development of accurate experimental methods and numerical modelling techniques. The workshop aimed at providing an opportunity for experts and young researchers to present the state-of-the-art, discuss new developments or techniques and exchange ideas in the areas of experimentations, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first two papers reflect the contents of the invited lectures, given by experts in the field of turbulent spray combustion. The first concerns computational issues, while the second deals with experiments. These lectures initiated very interesting and interactive discussions among the researchers, further pursued in contributed poster presentations. Contributions 3 and 4 focus on some aspects of the impact of the interaction between fuel evaporation and combustion on spray combustion in the context of gas turbines, while the final article deals with the interaction between evaporation and turbulence.

This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 1.0, Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus, language: English, comment: Simulation eines Prufstands einer Gasturbinenbrennkammer mit einem Reaktor Netzwerk und detaillierter Chemie, abstract: Use of gas turbines as one of the most effective power generation technologies has ecological concerns caused by polluting combustion products. To reduce emissions different fuel compositions are being constantly investigated and gas turbines are developed by means of experiments or less expensive numerical simulations. Combustion processes can be modeled in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with a good accuracy but it is time consuming and rather complicated in case of detailed chemistry. To overcome this issue a processing of CFD solution can be applied for a further building of equivalent chemical reactor networks (CRN) that allow to reduce calculation times and take minor species into account. The aim of this work is to choose a proper technique of CRN set-up and apply it for engineering tasks with the software tool 'LOGEsoft ReactorNetwork'. The first part of the thesis is devoted to investigation of existing CRN approaches, CFD processing instruments and testing and improvement of the 'LOGEsoft ReactorNetwork'. That software is successfully examined on the Sandia Flame D and a parameter study of the reactor network is carried out. The second part involves mechanism validation for methane/hydrogen mixtures and development of an equivalent reactor network for the Siemens atmospheric combustion test rig that serves as an experimental facility for enhancement of the 3rd generation dry low emission burner. The obtained CRN is validated against experimental data of NOx measurements and it showed reasonable results with deviations. A parameter study and mechanism sensitivity of the model is also conducted and some ways for the future improvement are suggested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November, 2008 Anna Schwarz, Johannes Janicka In the last thirty years noise emission has developed into a topic of increasing importance to society and economy. In ?elds such as air, road and rail traf?c, the control of noise emissions and development of associated noise-reduction techno- gies is a central requirement for social acceptance and economical competitiveness. The noise emission of combustion systems is a major part of the task of noise - duction. The following aspects motivate research: • Modern combustion chambers in technical combustion systems with low pol- tion exhausts are 5 - 8 dB louder compared to their predecessors. In the ope- tional state the noise pressure levels achieved can even be 10-15 dB louder. • High capacity torches in the chemical industry are usually placed at ground level because of the reasons of noise emissions instead of being placed at a height suitable for safety and security. • For airplanes the combustion emissions become a more and more important topic. The combustion instability and noise issues are one major obstacle for the introduction of green technologies as lean fuel combustion and premixed burners in aero-engines. The direct and indirect contribution of combustion noise to the overall core noise is still under discussion. However, it is clear that the core noise besides the fan tone will become an important noise source in future aero-engine designs. To further reduce the jet noise, geared ultra high bypass ratio fans are driven by only a few highly loaded turbine stages.

Download or read book An Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a Gas Turbine Research Combustor written by Reuben Montresor Morris and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbine engineering faces many challenges in the constant strive to increase not only the efficiency of engines but also the various stages of development and design. Development of combustors have primarily consisted of empirical or semi-empirical modelling combined with experimental investigations. Due to the associated costs and development time a need exists for an alternative method of development. Although experimental investigations can never be substituted completely, mathematical models incorporating numerical methods have shown to be an attractive alternative to conventional combustor design methods. The purpose of this study is twofold: firstly, to experimentally investigate the physical properties associated with a research combustor that is geometrically representative of practical combustors: and secondly, to use the experimental measurements for the validation of a computational fluids dynamic model that was developed to simulate the research combustor using a commercial code. The combustor was tested at atmospheric conditions and is representative of practical combustors that are characterized by a turbulent, three-dimensional flow field. The single can combustor is divided into a primary, secondary and dilution zone, incorporating film cooling air through stacked rings and an axial swirler centred around the fuel atomizer. Measurements at different air/fuel ratios captured the thermal field during operating conditions and consisted of inside gas, liner wall and exit gas temperatures. An investigation of the different combustion models available, led to the implementation of the presumed-PDF model of unpremixed turbulent reaction. The computational grid included the external and internal flow field with velocity boundary conditions prescribed at the various inlets. Two-phase flow was not accounted for with the assumption made that the liquid fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber in a gas phase. Experimental results showed that incomplete combustion occurs in the primary zone, thereby reducing the overall efficiency. Also evident from the results obtained are the incorrect flow splits at the various inlets. Evaluation of the numerical model showed that gas temperatures inside the combustor are overpredicted. However, the numerical model is capable of capturing the correct distributions of temperatures and trends obtained experimentally. This study is successful in capturing detail temperature measurements that will be used for validation purposes to assist the development of a numerical model that can accurately predict combustion properties.
Download or read book Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion written by Charles E. Baukal, Jr. and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-10-26 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many books have been written on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and many written on combustion, most contain very limited coverage of the combination of CFD and industrial combustion. Furthermore, most of these books are written at an advanced academic level, emphasize theory over practice, and provide little help to engineers who need to use CFD for combustion modeling. Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion fills this gap in the literature. Focusing on topics of interest to the practicing engineer, it codifies the many relevant books, papers, and reports written on this combined subject into a single, coherent reference. It looks at each topic from a somewhat narrow perspective to see how that topic affects modeling in industrial combustion. The editor and his team of expert authors address these topics within three main sections: Modeling Techniques-The basics of CFD modeling in combustion Industrial Applications-Specific applications of CFD in the steel, aluminum, glass, gas turbine, and petrochemical industries Advanced Techniques-Subjects rarely addressed in other texts, including design optimization, simulation, and visualization Rapid increases in computing power and significant advances in commercial CFD codes have led to a tremendous increase in the application of CFD to industrial combustion. Thorough and clearly representing the techniques and issues confronted in industry, Computational Fluid Dynamics in Industrial Combustion will help bring you quickly up to date on current methods and gain the ability to set up and solve the various types of problems you will encounter.
Download or read book Turbulent Premixed Flames written by Nedunchezhian Swaminathan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-25 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work on turbulent premixed combustion is important because of increased concern about the environmental impact of combustion and the search for new combustion concepts and technologies. An improved understanding of lean fuel turbulent premixed flames must play a central role in the fundamental science of these new concepts. Lean premixed flames have the potential to offer ultra-low emission levels, but they are notoriously susceptible to combustion oscillations. Thus, sophisticated control measures are inevitably required. The editors' intent is to set out the modeling aspects in the field of turbulent premixed combustion. Good progress has been made on this topic, and this cohesive volume contains contributions from international experts on various subtopics of the lean premixed flame problem.
