摘要:
为降低航空发动机和地面燃机碳排放和NOx,提出一种多射流布局的氢燃料微尺度非预混燃烧室头部结构。为获得微尺度非预混燃烧组织机理,以及关键设计参数对燃烧性能的影响,采用
k -ω SST(剪切应力输运)和FGM(火焰面生成流行)方法中的扩散火焰方法,通过9种组分共26步反应开展数值仿真模拟,对动量通量比、当量比、空气和氢气的导流板高度进行敏感性分析,探究氢气与空气的混合特性、火焰结构、温度分布、NOx排放的影响因素。对比分析了传统航空煤油与氢气NOx排放。结果表明:减小动量通量比有利于缩短火焰长度,可降低169.6%的NOx;存在一个空气导流板高度的临界值,使得NOx最高,在15%含氧量条件下NOx的体积分数为5×10−6;氢气导流板高度由3 mm增加为11 mm,NOx减少75.9%。与传统煤油相比,最优结构参数组合方案可进一步降低85.7%的NOx。Abstract:In order to curb the carbon and NOx emissions of the aeroengine and ground gas turbines, a multi-injector combustor dome configuration was proposed. To explore the micromix non-premix combustion mechanism and the impacts of the critical parameters on the combustor performance, the
k -ω SST (shear stress transfer) turbulence model, FGM (flamelet generated manifold) diffusion flamelet method and 9 species-26 steps reactions were adopted for the numerical simulation. Sensitivity analysis was performed with regard to the momentum flux ratio, equivalence ration, air-gate height and hydrogen-gate height. The influencing factors of mixing characteristics, flame structure, temperature distribution and NOx emission were explored. Meanwhile, the NOx emission between the conventional kerosene combustor and the hydrogen micromix was evaluated. Results showed that lower momentum flux ratio was beneficial for enhancing the mixing and reducing the flame length, resulting in 169.6% NOx reduction. There existed a critical value of the air gate height which brought about the highest NOx up to 5×10−6 under the 15% O2 content condition. As H2 gate height increased from 3 mm to 11 mm, NOx fell by 75.9%. Compared with the conventional kerosene combustor, NOx emission dramatically dropped by 85.7%, using the optimal combination of critical parameters.-
