Abstract |
Detailed chemical kinetic modeling has been used to study the reduction of nitrogen oxides at gas turbine combustion chamber conditions. A biomass-derived gasification gas from an air-blown IGCC plant has been used as the fuel. Air has been the oxidizer. A staged combustion technique has been adopted. In our previous study a simple plug flow model was used to study the effects of many process parameters like pressure, temperature, number of air addition stages, air-fuel stoichiometry, and fuel composition on the NOx emission. The calculations showed pressure and temperature as the main affecting variables. In this work the effect of the various mixing models of air and fuel are studied. A varying number of air sub-streams are mixed with the fuel gas during different time periods. Alternatively, a combination of a perfectly mixed zone followed by a plug flow zone is illustrated. The results showed that models predict an enhanced nitrogen oxide reduction when a mixing delay between air and fuel is considered as compared to an instantaneous mixing. |
