Lean blowout model for concentric staged low emission combustor
-
摘要:
为了准确掌握中心分级燃烧室火焰稳定边界的影响因素,建立中心分级燃烧室贫油熄火边界预测模型,对中心分级燃烧室的熄火过程进行了试验与理论研究。研究获取了燃烧室结构、雾化和工况参数对燃烧室贫油熄火边界的影响规律,建立并验证了中心分级燃烧室熄火半经验预测模型。结果表明:相比反向涡流器,同向涡流器下游具有更大的回流区、更低的回流速度和更长的停留时间,从而减弱了主燃级与值班级之间的湍流交换,导致同向旋流火焰的贫油熄火性能明显优于反向旋流火焰的熄火性能。中心分级燃烧室熄火边界预测模型对单头部和全环燃烧室熄火性能预测的最大误差为20%,满足燃烧室工程设计需要。
Abstract:With an aim to develop a prediction model and obtain the key factors influencing the lean blowout limits in concentric staged combustors, experimental and theoretical investigations were conducted based on the flame blowout process inside a gas turbine combustor. The influences on the lean blowout limits of combustor geometry, atomization and conditions were investigated, and a method to optimize the flame stability performance was also proposed. An improved prediction model of the lean blowout limits was developed and validated. It was found that the co-swirl led to the larger recirculation zone, lower recirculated velocity and longer resistance time compared with counter-swirl, resulting in weak turbulent exchange between pilot and main flame. Consequently, the lean blowout performance of co-swirl flame was better than the counter-swirl flame. The maximum error of 20% was validated by comparing the annular and single dome combustor experimental data with the lean blowout model, which can be used in the stage of primary design of combustors.
