Role of radicals on MILD combustion inception

The criterion used to define MILD combustion in non-premixed condition is analysed using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of MILD combustion of methane-diluted air established with internal exhaust gas recirculation. The simulations reveal multiple interacting reaction zones in MILD combustion which are extremely different from conventional combustion. Furthermore, DNS deduced S-curves highlight the role of chemically active species. Specifically, the temperature rise is accompanied with an increase in the scalar dissipation rate of mixture fraction, which is quite contrasting to the classical S-curve from the classical flame theories. This observation is explained on a physical basis.

Flame characterisation of gas-assisted pulverised coal combustion using FPV-LES

A multiphase flamelet/progress variable (FPV) model for the large eddy simulation (LES) of gas-assisted pulverised coal combustion (PCC) is developed. The target of the simulation is the Darmstadt turbulent gas-assisted swirling solid fuel combustion chamber. The coal particles are treated as Lagrangian point particles, the position, momentum and energy of which are tracked. The gas phase is described by the low-Mach Navier-Stokes equations alongside the Eulerian transport equations of the governing variables for the FPV model. The set of chemical states of the PCC flame is pre-tabulated in a six-dimensional flamelet table and determined by the mixing of the primary fuel stream, volatiles and char off-gases with the oxidising air, the progress of chemical reactions, the interphase heat transfer, as well as sub-grid scale variations. A presumed $\beta$-PDF approach for the total mixture fraction is applied to capture sub-grid scale effects. The discrete ordinate method (DOM) with the weighted sum of grey gases model (WSGGM) is employed to model radiation. The FPV-LES results are validated against the experimental evidence and a good agreement of the predicted mean and RMS velocities, as well as the mean gas temperature between experiments and simulations is obtained. The contributions of the pilot, volatile and char off-gas fuel streams to the coal flame are analysed. It is found that most regions of the furnace are dominated by either pilot or volatile combustion, while char conversion only occurs in the far downstream and outer furnace regions. The pilot gas dominates the near-wall region inside the quarl, whereas the volatile gas mainly released from small particles dominates a first volatile combustion zone in the interior of the internal recirculation zone. Larger particles heat up more slowly and release their volatile content further downstream, leading to a secondary volatile combustion zone.

Theoretical analysis of porous radiant burners under 2-D radiation field using discrete ordinates method

This paper describes a theoretical study to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of porous radiant burners (PRBs). In the present work, a 2-D rectangular model is used to solve the governing equations for porous medium and gas flow before the premixed flame to the exhaust gas. The gas and the solid phases are considered in non-local thermal equilibrium and combustion in the porous medium is modeled by considering a non-uniform heat generation zone. The homogeneous porous media, in addition to its convective heat exchange with the gas, may absorb, emit and scatter thermal radiation. The radiation effect in the gas flow is neglected but the conductive heat transfer is taken into account. In order to analyze the thermal characteristics of porous burners, the coupled energy equations for the gas and porous medium in steady condition are solved numerically and the discrete ordinates method (DOM) is used to obtain the distribution of radiative heat flux in the porous media. Finally, the effects of various parameters on the performance of porous radiant burners are examined. The present results are compared with some reported theoretical and experimental results by other investigators and good agreement is found.

The slowly reacting mode of combustion of gaseous mixtures in spherical vessels. Part 1: Transient analysis and explosion limits

Frank-Kamenetskii's analysis of thermal explosions is revisited, using also a single-reaction model with an Arrhenius rate having a large activation energy, to describe the transient combustion of initially cold gaseous mixtures enclosed in a spherical vessel with a constant wall temperature. The analysis shows two modes of combustion. There is a flameless slowly reacting mode for low wall temperatures or small vessel sizes, when the temperature rise resulting from the heat released by the reaction is kept small by the heat-conduction losses to the wall, so as not to change significantly the order of magnitude of the reaction rate. In the other mode, the slow reaction rates occur only in an initial ignition stage, which ends abruptly when very large reaction rates cause a temperature runaway, or thermal explosion, at a well-defined ignition time and location, thereby triggering a flame that propagates across the vessel to consume the reactant rapidly. Explosion limits are defined, in agreement with Frank-Kamenetskii's analysis, by the limiting conditions for existence of the slowly reacting mode of combustion. In this mode, a quasi-steady temperature distribution is established after a transient reaction stage with small reactant consumption. Most of the reactant is burnt, with nearly uniform mass fraction, in a subsequent long stage during which the temperature follows a quasi-steady balance between the rates of heat conduction to the wall and of chemical heat release. The changes in the explosion limits caused by the enhanced heat-transfer rates associated with buoyant motion are described in an accompanying paper.     

低品位烟气余热回收换热器热力学分析

低品位烟气余热回收过程存在冷凝现象,烟气的放热过程分为显热、潜热两部分。冷凝时,局部热流率和熵产率明显增大;增加水蒸气质量分数、冷却水质量流量和降低烟气入口温度都会导致烟气提前冷凝;存在最优冷却水质量流量使得热回收过程熵产数最小。另外,提出热回收效率评价烟气热回收程度,该指标受冷凝的影响很大。随着烟气中蒸汽质量分数的增加,冷凝过程的影响明显增强,因此,在低品位烟气的全热回收中必须考虑潜热的影响。     

Combustion regimes of particle-laden gaseous flames: influences of radiation,molecular transports,kinetic-quenching,stoichiometry

We study flat flames propagating steadily in a reactive gaseous premixture which is seeded with an inert solid suspension. Our main assumptions are: (i) the two-reactant, one-step overall reaction we choose as the combustion process has a rate which vanishes at and below a prescribed temperature (Tc) and resumes the Arrhenius form at higher temperatures; (ii) both phases are considered as continua and have the same local speed and temperature; (iii) radiation among the particles follows the Eddington approximation specialized to a grey medium and the attenuation length markedly exceeds the conduction - convection length in the gas; (iv) the activation energy is large.

The first regimes we consider comprise a thin flame front (dominated by molecular transports, convection and chemistry) embedded in much thicker radiation - convection zones. Jump conditions across the former are derived analytically and then used as targets in a shooting method to analyse the thickest zones and compute the burning speed (U). Such regimes only exist for equivalence ratios () above a load-dependent critical value which corresponds to a turning point of the U() curve. This turning point is due to radiative heat losses from the thin flame front to the cooler adjacent zones, which lead to extinction.

Over restricted, well defined ranges of composition other regimes may also exist, which have monotonic temperature profiles culminating slightly above Tc. When they are too thick to be affected by molecular transports and are thus similar to coal-dust -air flames, their structure, domain of existence and speed are investigated analytically and numerically. The corresponding U() curve exhibits an upper limit equivalence ratio * characterized by an end-point, beyond which such regimes cannot exist. The influence of molecular diffusion is then accounted for and shown to modify the results only slightly.     

Flow Mechanisms and Diffusion Combustion of Turbulent Jets

The problem of flow and combustion of turbulent jets of fuel gas in the external medium of an oxidant (air) is solved with regard to the existence of the actual boundary of the turbulent flow region of a jet. Based on the ideas of the friction force of the external flow acting on the boundary of a jet, the entrainment equation for the external medium is derived that closes the system of equations of motion of turbulent jets. The physical meaning of the dissipation rate of the turbulent energy of a jet is interpreted as the work of the friction force. To describe the combustion kinetics, the limit of instantaneous reactions corresponding to the diffusion combustion mode is used. Calculations of the effective reaction rates for reactants and the volumes occupied by them are based on the representation of a turbulent medium as an aggregation of independent turbulent particles—vortices—whose random contacts lead to the mixing and combustion of reacting substances [31]. The concomitant phenomena of flow and combustion are analyzed, including radiation effects. In particular, it is shown that the apparent increase in the combustion temperature with increasing Reynolds number is in fact attributed to the relative decrease of thermal radiation losses. Qualitative agreement is obtained between the results of the theoretical calculations of the length of a combustion torch and experimental data.     

Non-Fourier heat conduction with radiation in an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering medium

This article numerically analyses the combined conductive and radiative heat transfer in an absorbing, emitting, and isotropically scattering medium. The non-Fourier heat conduction equation, which includes the time lag between heat flux and the temperature gradient, is used to model the conductive heat transfer in the medium. It predicts that a temperature disturbance will propagate as a wave at finite speed. The radiative heat transfer is solved using the P₃ approximation method. In addition, the MacCormack's explicit predictor-corrector scheme is used to solve the non-Fourier problem. The effects of radiation including single scattering albedo, conduction-to-radiation parameter, and optical thickness of the medium on the transient and steady state temperature distributions are investigated in detail. Analysis results indicate that the internal radiation in the medium significantly influences the wave nature. The thermal wave nature in the combined non-Fourier heat conduction with radiation is more obvious for large values of conduction-to-radiation parameter, small values of optical thickness and higher scattering medium. The results from non-Fourier-effect equation are also compared to those obtained from the Fourier equation. Non-Fourier effect becomes insignificant as either time increases or the effect of radiation increases.     

Prediction of soot and thermal radiation in a model gas turbine combustor burning kerosene fuel spray at different swirl levels

Combustion of kerosene fuel spray has been numerically simulated in a laboratory scale combustor geometry to predict soot and the effects of thermal radiation at different swirl levels of primary air flow. The two-phase motion in the combustor is simulated using an Eulerian–Lagragian formulation considering the stochastic separated flow model. The Favre-averaged governing equations are solved for the gas phase with the turbulent quantities simulated by realisable k–? model. The injection of the fuel is considered through a pressure swirl atomiser and the combustion is simulated by a laminar flamelet model with detailed kinetics of kerosene combustion. Soot formation in the flame is predicted using an empirical model with the model parameters adjusted for kerosene fuel. Contributions of gas phase and soot towards thermal radiation have been considered to predict the incident heat flux on the combustor wall and fuel injector. Swirl in the primary flow significantly influences the flow and flame structures in the combustor. The stronger recirculation at high swirl draws more air into the flame region, reduces the flame length and peak flame temperature and also brings the soot laden zone closer to the inlet plane. As a result, the radiative heat flux on the peripheral wall decreases at high swirl and also shifts closer to the inlet plane. However, increased swirl increases the combustor wall temperature due to radial spreading of the flame. The high incident radiative heat flux and the high surface temperature make the fuel injector a critical item in the combustor. The injector peak temperature increases with the increase in swirl flow mainly because the flame is located closer to the inlet plane. On the other hand, a more uniform temperature distribution in the exhaust gas can be attained at the combustor exit at high swirl condition.

Effect of stoichiometric mixture fraction on soot fraction and emission spectra with application to oxy-combustion

Many proposed oxy-combustion concepts for carbon capture incorporate the recycling of flue gas which is used as a dilution gas to aid in the control of temperature and heat flux. Improvements in efficiency may be realized by significantly reducing the recycle flue gas (RFG), however, in application, care must be taken to avoid excessive radiant heat flux and gas temperature. One of the features oxy-combustion, unlike air-fired combustion, is that the oxygen and dilution gases are initially separated. RFG can, for example, be strategically blended with either the fuel stream, or oxidizer stream, or both, which affects the stoichiometric mixture fraction, Z_st. In this work, the effects of the amount of dilution, or RFG, and Z_st on soot fraction are experimentally investigated in a laminar coflow flame. Carbon dioxide is employed as the dilution gas to simulate the recycling of dry flue gas. Soot fraction and temperature are quantitatively determined by a flame image processing technique. In addition, the visible and near-IR emission spectra are given. When dilution, or RFG, is reduced, while holding Z_st constant, soot formation and thermal radiation increase due to higher temperature. However, high temperature flames with reduced or zero soot are achieved by increasing Z_st via the combination of fuel dilution and oxygen enrichment. This study highlights the inherent flexibility of oxy-fuel combustion, which offers the opportunity to control flame temperature and gas volume while independently controlling soot formation and radiant heat transfer.     

Regimes of the filtration combustion of structured heterogeneous systems

An analysis of the characteristics of the combustion front in a multilayer porous system with radiative heat transfer and filtration mass transfer of gaseous reactants into the exothermic conversion zone is presented. At moderate pressures, the mass of the gas in the porous layer is smaller than that required by stoichiometry, and, therefore, filtration transport without diffusion from the ambient medium occurs. It was taken into account that the bulk heat release in the porous media can be limited by both the kinetics of the exothermic chemical reaction and the filtration transport of a gaseous reactant from the ambient medium. The effect of filtration on the characteristics of relay-race combustion was examined. The characteristics of the front and the dynamics of the conversion of the elements of the discrete system were determined. The characteristics of the relay-race filtration combustion front under conditions of heat losses into the ambient medium were examined, and the possibility of existence of two steady regimes, with a low- and a high-temperature relay-race combustion front, was demonstrated. At heat losses above a critical level, relay-race combustion extinguishes. A numerical analysis of relay-race combustion regimes under nonadiabatic conditions showed that the low-temperature front is absolutely unstable and made it possible to study the dynamics of the onset of high-temperature relay-race filtration combustion.     

The influence of the state of a compressed thermonuclear substance on the combustion of inertial fusion targets under direct ignition by a short radiation pulse

One-dimensional numerical calculations were performed to study the dependence of conditions for initiating thermonuclear combustion and of the target gain of direct-ignition inertial fusion targets ignited by a short radiation pulse on the initial temperature of a preliminarily compressed fuel and the initial heat energy distribution between plasma electrons and ions in the ignition region (igniter). The igniter parameters at which an effective thermonuclear target explosion with a G ～ 10³ target gain occurred were shown to substantially depend on the initial temperature of the major fuel fraction and the initial heat energy distribution between igniter electrons and ions. The heat energy of the igniter passed a minimum as the size of the igniter decreased. The dependences of these minimum energies on the temperature of the major fuel fraction at various initial energy distributions between igniter electrons and ions were determined. An increase in the temperature of the major fuel fraction was shown to decrease the target gain.
