Project description:<br />

The current trend of design of low emission burners for single and multiple fuels is to burn lean<br />

mixture. By this, the peak temperature can be reduced and the formation of thermal NO is<br />

greatly avoided. The limit of how lean the mixture can be is determined by either flame blow out<br />

or incomplete combustion, which leads to elevated levels of emissions of CO and unburned<br />

hydrocarbons (UHC). The issue is thus, how to design burners and their integration into a<br />

combustion <strong>system</strong> in such a way that they will function in a well-defined manner (i.e. at design<br />

conditions). This problem is difficult and currently there are no complete solutions available.<br />

The aim of the work proposed herein is specifically focused towards answering the problems<br />

associated with burner design, for power generating gas turbine applications, using low emission<br />

burners for less favorable fuels (such as low value bio-gas) and/or water injection which may<br />

lead to lowering the flammability of the fuel. Active research is carried out worldwide in<br />

improving modeling of turbulent combustion. In this project the theoretical work focuses on the<br />

mixing properties of industrial GT (low emission) burners and mixing effects on the combustion.<br />

In addition we study mixing and combustion effects of mixtures of (multi-component) fuels and<br />

the effect of species dependent (i.e. Schmidt number) diffusivity on mixing and combustion. The<br />

theoretical work is proposed to be supported by combined experiments, which are conducted in<br />

close collaboration with ALSTOM Power.<br />

Project goals:<br />

1. Developing and validating design tools for low-value gas/bio-gas fuels for low NOx<br />

power GT burners.<br />

2. Study the effects fuel (including low value biogas) composition and/or of water<br />

injection on flame stability.<br />

3. Study potentially new injection and mixing techniques for lean and/or low load<br />

combustion.<br />

4. Develop and refined modeling (i.e. computational) and experimental<br />

models/techniques for handling low emission burner design.
