Experimental investigations on combustion characteristics of a swirl-stabilized premixed burner

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Experimental investigations have been conducted to understand the combustion characteristics of a swirl-stabilized double-cone premixed burner used for industrial gas turbines for power generation. NOx and CO emissions, extinction limit, combustion noise, pressure loss, and wall temperature distributions were measured for various operating conditions. Results show that NOx emissions are decreased with increasing air/fuel ratio or decreasing air load unless the air load is too small. CO emissions are also decreased with increasing air/fuel ratio, leading to a positive correlation between NOx and CO emissions. Flame extinction limit is reduced with increasing air flow rate as the flow residence time is reduced. Combustion noise has its peak amplitude at the frequencies of 150 or 300 Hz, which are considered to be the resonance frequencies of the longitudinal mode of the combustor. The noise level at the peak frequency is maximized when the flame is considered to be located near the burner exit. Pressure loss is decreased with the A/F ratio as the flame moves downstream out of the burner.
