旋流扩散燃烧中旋流数对热NO生成的影响

本文对旋流扩散燃烧进行了数值模拟，研究旋流数对热ＮＯ生成的影响，其中对湍流采用Ｒｅｙｎｏｌｄｓ应力方程模型，对燃烧采用ＥＢＵ－Ａｒｒｈｅｎｉｕｓ模型，对热ＮＯ生成采用设定ＰＤＦ的模型。预报了不同旋流数下轴向和切向的平均和脉动速度、温度和ＮＯ浓度，指出随着旋流数的增大，计算得到的出口平均ＮＯ浓度首先升高然后下降。这一趋势和本文作者最近的实验结果的趋势一致．随着旋流数的增大，湍流脉动首先下阵然后升高，而进口附近的温度上升，二者综合效果造成上述趋势、因此在实际燃烧器中，完全靠改变族流数来控制ＮＯ生成是不现实的。应该采取其他方法来降低ＮＯ的生成。

1引言大型电站锅炉炉膛内的燃烧过程是发生在相对较大空间内的、不断脉动的、具有强烈三维特征的复杂物理和化学过程。因为实际炉膛尺寸太大,以至于还没有建立适用的可视化技术手段[1],只能对其缩小了的模型在实验室进行研究[2.3]。作者在炉膛煤粉燃烧二维温度分布检测研究[4]的基础上,提出了以多幅辐射图像处理为基础的三维温度分布检测方法[5]。本文将建立较为严密的辐射图象信息同炉内燃烧过程的关系式,并借助燃烧过程数值模拟技术来估计炉内燃烧介质辐射特性参数非均匀分布,改进以辐射图象处理为基础的炉内三维燃烧温度分布检测方…     

Soot and NO emissions control in a natural gas/diesel fuelled RCCI engine by φ-T map analysis

Soot and NO emissions are considered as major pollutants to the atmosphere from compression ignition engines. Researchers have been dedicated to the reduction of soot and NO emissions. Thus, an advance combustion regime, i.e. reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI), was proposed to mitigate the formation of these emissions. In this study, the dynamic ?-T (equivalence ratio vs. temperature) map analysis was applied to visualise the combustion processes associated with the in-cylinder temperature and equivalence ratio in an RCCI engine. Therefore, the soot and NO emissions can be efficiently reduced by controlling the combustion process out of the emissions islands on the ?-T map. This analysis method employs KIVA4-CHEMKIN and SENKIN code to construct ?-T maps under various conditions. To find out the significant parameters of controlling combustion process and emissions formation, four parameters were taken into consideration in a natural gas (NG) and diesel fuelled RCCI engine: NG percentage, the first start of injection (SOI) timing, split fraction of diesel and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate. Each parameter was varied at three levels. Finally, the ?-T maps and final soot and NO emissions were compared among varied conditions for each parameter. It is found that the increased NG percentage can significantly reduce soot because of the absence of C-C bond in NG and the reduced diesel fuel impingement on the surface of the piston or cylinder wall. Increasing EGR can decrease the peak combustion temperature due to the dilution effect and thermal effect, consequently maintaining RCCI at low temperature combustion region. This study also indicates that dynamic ?-T map analysis is efficient at manipulating the combustion process to mitigate the soot and NO emissions formation.     

Transported PDF simulation of turbulent CH4/H2 flames under MILD conditions with particle-level sensitivity analysis

Transported probability density function (TPDF) simulation with sensitivity analysis has been conducted for turbulent non-premixed CH₄/H₂ flames of the jet-into-hot-coflow (JHC) burner, which is a typical model to emulate moderate or intense low oxygen dilution combustion (MILD). Specifically, two cases with different levels of oxygen in the coflow stream, namely HM1 and HM3, are simulated to reveal the differences between MILD and hot-temperature combustion. The TPDF simulation well predicts the temperature and species distributions including those of OH, CO and NO for both cases with a 25-species mechanism. The reduced reaction activity in HM1 as reflected in the peak OH concentration is well correlated to the reduced oxygen in the coflow stream. The particle-level local sensitivities with respect to mixing and chemical reaction further show dramatic differences in the flame characteristics. HM1 is less sensitive to mixing and reaction parameters than HM3 due to the suppressed combustion process. Specifically, for HM1 the sensitivities to mixing and chemical reactions have comparable magnitude, indicating that the combustion progress is controlled by both mixing and reaction in MILD combustion. For HM3, there is however a change in the combustion mode: during the flame initialization, the combustion progress is more sensitive to chemical reactions, indicating that finite-rate chemistry is the controlling process during the autoignition process for flame stabilization; at further downstream where the flame has established, the combustion progress is controlled by mixing, which is characteristic of nonpremixed flames. An examination of the particles with the largest sensitivities reveals the difference in the controlling mixtures for flame stabilization, namely, the stoichiometric mixtures are important for HM1, whereas, fuel-lean mixtures are controlling for HM3. The study demonstrates the potential of TPDF simulations with sensitivity analysis to investigate the effects of finite-rate chemistry on the flame characteristics and emissions, and reveal the controlling physio-chemical processes in MILD combustion.     

Application of the conditional source-term estimation model for turbulence–chemistry interactions in a premixed flame

Conditional Source-term Estimation (CSE) is a closure model for turbulence–chemistry interactions. This model uses the first-order CMC hypothesis to close the chemical reaction source terms. The conditional scalar field is estimated by solving an integral equation using inverse methods. It was originally developed and has been used extensively in non-premixed combustion. This work is the first application of this combustion model for a premixed flame. CSE is coupled with a Trajectory Generated Low-Dimensional Manifold (TGLDM) model for chemistry. The CSE-TGLDM combustion model is used in a RANS code to simulate a turbulent premixed Bunsen burner. Along with this combustion model, a similar model which relies on the flamelet assumption is also used for comparison. The results of these two approaches in the prediction of the velocity field, temperature and species mass fractions are compared together. Although the flamelet model is less computationally expensive, the CSE combustion model is more general and does not have the limiting assumption underlying the flamelet model.     

进气中CO2浓度对预混合燃烧和排放影响的试验和模拟研究

本文研究了进气中CO2浓度对燃烧和排放特性的影响.研究表明在所有的预混合燃料比下,当CO2浓度增加时,NOx排放随之大幅减少,烟度排放有小的变化。利用KIVA3V和湍流与化学反应交互的燃烧模型对柴油机预混合燃烧进行了模拟研究,对缸内OH浓度的模拟计算表明,随着CO2浓度的增加,着火前期OH生成浓度明显向后推移,这表明燃料的氧化速率随CO2浓度的增加变慢,从而延长了着火滞燃期。进气中CO2浓度变大时,燃烧温度降低,有利于降低NOx的排放。
