Reflection In Gas Turbine Combustor

Improved Essays
When studing liquid fuel combustion in gas turbine combustor, complicated principals including reactive flow, spraying, turbulent flow, multiphase flow, convective and radiative heat transfer and their interactions should be considered. In recent 40 years combustion chambers have continuously improved structurally. Present combustion chambers are generally devided to three main groups: Can type, Can Annular type, and Annular type chambers. Combustion chambers consist of components such as swirler, injector, diffuser, liner, cooling holes, dilution holes and etc.
A gas turbine combustion chamber classically has three zones: primary zone, secondary zone, and dilution zone. In primary zone, which is located between injector and primary jets,

They considered Methanol chemical details by 23 species and 168 Chemical reactions. Turbulence was modeled by standard k-ԑ. According to this study, the results of flamelet model with improved presumed β-PDF are close to results of transport PDF solution. They expressed that when chemical details are considered in combustion modelling, Pollutants and radicals are calculated better and more accurate.
Lee et al (2006) [7] evaluated the combustion and efficiency of cooling in annular aero gas turbine combustion chamber. In this work, they used SST model, ED combustion model and DO radiation model. In this work, Rozin–Romler distribution with 30 micrometer diameter is used. Their results show that cooling holes are suitable but injection of dilution holes is not appropriate. Improper injection causes the air does not have enough penetration. Thus, unsuitable air covering film is produced and as a result, distribution of exit temperature grow to

The distinction of this study with previous research, is employing a geometry of combustion chamber model that all components such as swirler, airblast injector, primary and diulution holes are included. In the numerical simulation of reactive two-phase flow of this combustion chamber, the Realizable k-ε turbulence model, steady flamelet combustion model and discrete ordinates radiation model have been used. The spray and atomization of liquid fuel droplet is modeled by an Eulerian–Lagrangian method. The present study is performed for four different cases of air injection that, in the first case, boundary conditions are based on the laboratory conditions [11]. After validation of numerical results for the first case using experimental data, the subsequent cases are studied. The results of the present study, are comparison of velocity and temperature distributions, mass fraction percentage of the carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide concentration at exit plane of combustion chamber for the above-mentioned four reactive flow cases and selection of the optimum

    Figure 2.8 shows the velocity direction at the vents. At the top of the vents, because the smoke in the fire floor is lighter than the air in the atrium and ambient because of the high temperature, pressure difference between the fire floor and atmospheric pressure is larger than at the lower place of the vents. At the bottom of the vents, the pressure difference becomes negative to that at the top. So there should be neutral pressure plane or…

    Multiple trials were done with different percentages of Oxygen and Acetylene in order to find out which ratio would provide the most propulsion and therefore create the most distance traveled for the rocket. In this lab, it is assumed that the furthest rocket launch would indicate the best ratio of Oxygen to Acetylene gas in the pipet bulb. In order to have a reaction between Oxygen and Acetylene gas, Acetylene gas must be created. To create pure Acetylene gas, this reaction takes place: CaC_(2(s))+〖2H_2 O〗_((l))…

    From the humble steam engine to the more complex and sophisticated internal combustion of gasoline, engines have become a necessity to daily lives, more specifically automobiles. Since the 19th century, automobiles were able to revolutionize the world in a variety of ways. Because of the unreasonable price and low popularity, automobiles were not as prominent as they are today (Purdy 1). The history of the automobile depicts the effort used in the past centuries in order to delineate the formation and progression of the automobile in an instructional way. The first transformation of energy into mechanical work dates as far back as the first century (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica 1).…
