Kertas kerja ini mempersembahkan pengaruh mengubah sudut bilah pemusar udara aliran jejarian yang kecil dalam mengurangkan emisi seperti oksida nitrogen (NOx) dan karbon monoksida (CO). Dalam kajian ini, satu sistem pembakar berbahan api cecair menggunakan empat pemusar udara aliran jejarian yang berlainan sudut bilah diuji di dalam kebuk pembakar berdiameter 163 mm dan panjang 280 mm. Ujian dijalankan menggunakan kerosin sebagai bahan api. Pemusar udara aliran jejarian dengan bilah terlengkung berdiameter keluaran 40 mm dipasang pada satah masukan pembakar bagi menjana aliran berpusar. Bahan api dipancitkan pada plat belakang keluaran pemusar menggunakan pemancit bahan api pusat dengan dua nozel bahan api menghala keluar secara paksi. Sudut pemusar udara dan nisbah setara diubah–ubah. Ujian dilaksanakan menggunakan empat pemusar udara yang berlainan sudut, iaitu masing–masing 30°, 40°, 50° dan 60°. Pengurangan NOx melebihi 50 peratus dicapai untuk sudut bilah 60° berbanding pada sudut bilah 30°. Emisi CO juga dikurangkan sebanyak 72 peratus pada sudut bilah 60° berbanding pada sudut bilah 30°. Kata kunci: Aliran berpusar; pembakar industri; emisi NOx; emisi CO; bilah terlengkung This paper presents the effect of varying the blade angle of a small radial air swirler on reducing emissions such as oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO). In this research a liquid fuel burner system with four different radial air swirler blade angles has been investigated using 163 mm inside diameter combustor of 280 mm length. Tests were conducted using kerosene as fuel. A radial flow air swirler with curved blades having 40 mm outlet diameter was inserted at the inlet plane of the combustor to produce swirling flow. Fuel was injected at the back plate of the swirler outlet using central fuel injector with two fuel nozzles pointing axially outwards. The swirler blade angles and equivalence ratios were varied. Tests were carried out using four different air swirlers having 30°, 40°, 50° and 60° blade angles, respectively. A NOx reduction of more than 50 percent was achieved for blade angle of 60° compared to the 30° blade angle. CO emissions were also reduced by 72 percent for 60° blade angle compared 30° blade angle. Key words: Swirling flow; industrial burner; NOx emissions; CO emissions; curved blade

Abstract Increased global demand for cleaner energy production and growing concern about using fossil fuels have urged many researchers to focus their work on developing more efficient and flexible combustion processes. In this regard, a FLOX®-based liquid fuel single-nozzle burner is investigated for use in a Capstone C30 micro gas turbine (MGT). The main advantages of FLOX®-based combustor systems are their decreased NOx emissions and increased fuel flexibility. An atmospheric test rig is set up to investigate the behavior of the FLOX®-based liquid fuel burner under the influence of the hot gas. The circulating gas in the C30 annular combustion chamber is emulated by hot cross-flow gas generated by a 20-nozzle FLOX®-based natural gas burner operated on a separate horizontal test rig. The variation and combination of the process parameters of both burners are done systematically according to Design of Experiments (DOE) as a statistical design methodology. DOE methodology is adopted rather than the conventional one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) strategy, as DOE considers any possible interaction between the factors and reduces the number of experiments. Employing statistical design of experiments allows determining which input variables are responsible for the observed changes in the response, developing a model relating the response to the important input variables, and using this model for improving the combustor system. The results are subsequently run through the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in order to allow for an objective conclusion about the effect of the factors on the selected responses, which include mass flow rate (·fuel) and global air equivalence ratio (λ) of both of the liquid and natural gas burners. The hot gas cross-flow interaction with the liquid fuel burner is assessed through analyzing exhaust gas emissions and averaged flame OH*-chemiluminescence images. The models developed by the DOE method can be used to estimate the emissions and the flame geometrical properties of any other operating points that are not explicitly tested.

In a swirl-stabilised liquid fuel burner, the fuel spray response to the Precessing Vortex Core (PVC) and air flow rate modulations is analysed in non-reacting conditions. A siren-like device is used to modulate the air flow rate at a frequency corresponding to longitudinal combustion instability oscillations observed during reacting tests. Time-resolved Mie scattering images of the fuel spray are recorded and treated with multiple post-processing methods based on Dynamic Mode Decomposition. The spray velocity fluctuations induced by the PVC and the siren-generated modulations are extracted from noisy datasets and studied. The evolution of the PVC impact on the spray for different levels of flow rate fluctuations is followed and a nonlinear interaction mode is highlighted for several intensities of flow rate modulations. It is shown that increasing the flow rate modulations tend to weaken the PVC impact on the spray, progressively disturbing its structure, starting from the downstream part and progressing upstream. These observations on the fuel spray can be used to understand and interpret data obtained in reacting conditions, for example when competition between PVC and longitudinal combustion instabilities occurs.

Rapid Characterization

Knowledge of the combustion and pollutant emission characteristics is important in the application of both existing and newly developed fuels. A technique for the rapid characterization of flame radiation properties and emission characteristics of liquid fuels was developed for this purpose. Liquid fuel was injected into a heated air stream at known rates with a syringe pump; the feed line was heated (temperature of 425°C) to pre-vaporize the fuel before burning, to avoid the effects of evaporation parameters on measurements. Temperatures of the fuel and air were monitored using K-type thermocouples embedded within the feed lines. A laminar methane-air flame was issued from a stainless steel tubular burner (9.5mm inner diameter) and used as the ignition source. The methane supply was shut off after the onset of the burning of the vaporized liquid fuel, in order to eliminate the effects of burning methane in the measurements. Several liquid fuels were tested, including commercially available petroleum-based No. 2 diesel fuel, canola methyl ester (CME B 100) biodiesel, kerosene, methanol, toluene, and selected alkanes. A steady burning flame was achieved for all fuels. Radiative heat flux measurements were made with a high-sensitivity pyrheliometer and the radiant fraction of heat release calculated. The radiant heat fraction served as an indication of sooting tendency of the fuels. NO, CO, and CO2 emission measurements were also made. The measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the current technique for the rapid characterization of combustion properties of liquid fuels, utilizing small fuel quantities.
