Abstract:
A CFD (computational fluid dynamics) two-dimensional model was employed to study the combustion of premixed natural gas in a small-scale space and the impact of wall heat-conductivity factor and outer wall heat loss on the combustion characteristics. The results of the study indicate that the wall heat conductivity factor and the outer-wall heat loss have a direct influence on the ignition and stability of the flame and the formation of NOx. As for the premixed natural gas there exists only a zone of very small flow velocity, which can maintain combustion in a channel. Finally, the impact of axial and radial temperature gradient on a combustor was analyzed and, an optimum thermodynamic condition under simulated circumstances has been identified, thereby making it possible to achieve the aim of optimizing a small-sized combustor.
