Chapter 2: Combustion in Gas-phase Processes<br />

Figure 2-35 has two reactor network clusters. The first cluster represents the region<br />

around the flame in the combustor and the second cluster uses a single PFR for the<br />

post-flame region between the flame and turbine inlet. We set the first PSR as the<br />

mixing zone because the fuel stream is partially premixed. A flame zone PSR is<br />

directly connected to the mixing zone and is followed by a recirculation zone for back<br />

mixing of hot combusted gas. The solutions of the through flow from the flame zone<br />

(the last reactor of cluster number 1) are automatically fed to the post-flame zone (the<br />

second cluster) as indicated by the gray line. Figure 2-34 shows the reactor<br />

configuration that will be modelled.<br />

Gas Turbine Network—Schematic<br />

The project file, reactor_network__gas_turbine.ckprj, can be found in the<br />

samples41 directory. The reaction mechanism for methane-air combustion is the GRI<br />

Mech 3.0, as described in section Section 2.8.2.<br />
