Pollutant Minimisation by Blue Flame Staged Combustion.

Abstract

A general analysis for a steady state heterogeneous Well Stirred Reactor (WSR) is presented in which fuel evaporation, turbulent mixing and finite rate chemical kinetics are treated. A mathematical model for the BFB featuring a 17 step quasi global reaction mechanism, recirculation and a reactor network containing 2 WSR's is thus derived; a general modular computer program suitable for parametric evaluations was developed to facilitate this type of modelling. Convergence of the model solution scheme could be obtained for fuel lean and stoichiometric conditions only. Reasonably good agreement between measured and predicted values of BFE exit flow temperature, NO and CO pollutant emissions is apparent. (Author)
