Mechanisms of Exhaust Pollutants and Plume Formation in Continuous Combustion.

Abstract

The investigation of exhaust pollutant and plume formation in continuous combustion is a combined analytical and experimental study of turbulent, backmixed combustion in gas turbines. Experiments are being conducted operating with premixed methane/air and propane/air reactants. Theoretically predicted profiles of the flow properties are being systematically compared with experimentally determined profiles. The report discusses the following research: The experimental facility has been modified and updated to accomodate the current study; limited emission and velocity data have been obtained; and the analytical phase has been directed to updating the turbulence model used in the original (PISTEP I) ORC numerical program and adapting a p-v, 3-dimensional program dubbed TEACH to the ORC system.
