SIMULATION OF GAS TURBINE REACTING FLOWS

摘要

A study of spray combustion with porous inserts was performed using an on-axis fuel used in a concentric Jet-A. Combustion performance was evaluated by measuring exhaust emissions and flame temperatures for different operating conditions with and without ceramic foam inserts of various properties. The results indicated that the enhanced heat transfer in the flame zone could reduce nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbon emissions. Placing a second porous layer downstream could yield further reductions in both emissions. The results for different firing rates and equivalence ratios revealed the residence time in the porous layer is an important factor regulating combustor performance.
