Method of controlling burning processes in a pseudo-liquid fuel flow

1 1., 1 1., 1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

Method of controlling burning and flame stabilization processes in a pseudo-liquid fuel flow has been developed. The method is based on imposing pseudoturbulent pulsations on discrete air jets injected into the mixing layer of the main fuel-air flow. By varying speed and frequency of pulsating jets it is possible to change the hydrodynamics and scale of flow structure in the chamber and, consequently, to influence the pseudo-liquid fuel burning characteristics.

“Rich burn - quick quench - lean burn” technology (RQQL) for aviation gas turbine engine working on liquid natural gas

1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

The paper reports some results of Research and Development Department of the Joint-Stock Company «Aviadvigatel» (the city of Perm) as to the mastering of RQQL low-emission burning (Rich Burn-Quick Quench-Lean Burn) as applied to the gas turbine engine PS-90A combustion chamber. Data on NOx and CO emission for combustion chambers operating on aviation kerosene and liquid natural gas are presented. It is noted, in particular, that using RQQL burning technology makes it possible to obtain 4- or 5-fold NOx emission decrease as compared to the existing PS-90A combustion chamber. The paper also notes some problems concerning reliable start and steady burning in the RQQLtype combustion chamber when using natural gas as fuel.

RQQL low emission combustion process as a way of achieving high reliability of stationary gas turbine engine

1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

The article covers the process of low emission combustion “Rich Burn - Quick Quench - Lean Burn” that is applied to settle functional problems typical for engines equipped with combustors with lean premixed fuel/air mixtures. The article shows that RQQL process with NOx = 150…100 mg/nm3 is more preferable compared to the process of lean premixed fuel/air mixtures burning.

Developing a dynamic model of premixed fuel combustor

1 1., 1 1., 1 1., 1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

The choice of optimal parameters of a burner mixer of a combustor with pre-prepared fuel-air mixture is considered. Requirements for providing the standard level of Nox emission and for pressure pulsation amplitude in the combustor on the basis of the elaborated dynamic model of the operating process in a combustor of this type are taken into consideration. The use of this approach to design a low-emission combustor of the gas-pumping unit GTK-10I (Flame 3) is discussed.

Using computational gas dynamics methods for the simulation of multicomponent gas flow, combustion and heat exchange in a gas turbine combustion chamber

1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

The problem of mathematical simulation of physical and chemical processes in a gas turbine combustion chamber is considered. The results of numerical simulation of a gas mixture turbulent flow and combustion in a methane-fuelled combustor are presented. The simulation of multicomponent turbulent gas flow processes was performed using averaged Navier-Stokes equations, k − ε turbulence model. Thin flame front model and Zeldovitch mechanism are used to describe the combustion process. Using these models made it possible to assess the NO emission level at the combustor outlet.

Influence of interphase exchange on fuel-air mixing in a module combustor

1 1., 1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

A mathematical model of a two-phase flow in a gas turbine combustion chamber has been developed. The model includes momentum and heat exchange between the gas and fuel drops. Model flow in a straight channel of rectangular cross section with fuel aerosol injection from the wall has been calculated. Heat exchange between the gas and the drops is shown to have a strong influence on temperature fields when air flows of different densities are mixed.

1 1., 1 1., 1 1., 1 1.

Abstract

Experimental research of heat exchange on a perforated wall with standard and inclined holes, around which a turbulent flow of heated gas is flowing, has been carried out, using thermovision equipment. The results of the experiments made it possible to deduce the formulas for calculating heat exchange between the wall and the gas flow, as well as that between the wall and the cooling air, including the holes in the wall.
Three – dimensional calculations of thermal and stressed states of perforated walls with inclined holes in a twowall liner have been made for take-off regime.

Summarizing the experience of turbulent combustion in aircraft engine and industrial gas turbine combustion chambers

1 1.

Abstract

The paper presents the results of investigating the influence of turbulent mixing process intensification upon the efficiency, combustion stability and harmful emissions in combustion chambers (CC) of NK-family aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. In the course of CC development relationship between “soft” and “hard” excitation of highfrequency (HF) vibrations in thrust chambers of closed-circuit liquid-propellant rocket engines (NK-39, NK-33) and
non-uniformity of gaslous component flow across the CC cross-section, as well as the range of injector jet action were obtained. On the basis of investigating the sources of turbulence in CC two models of flow turbulization hare been developed: “R” model for areas of injector head reverse flows; and “C” model for injector jets caused by dynamic interaction of fuel components, due to initial flow turbulization in the CC gas passage, as the flow enters the injector gas
channels etc. application of “R” and “C” models for Hersch criterion improvement made it possible to create models of acoustic energy generation in CC and to prove experimentally the developed principles of optimizing the above-mentioned combustion characteristics for NK-25, NK-321 engine afterburners and for two-zone CC of NK-36ST, NK-37, NK-38ST engines.
