Progress in Modelling Combustors.
Abstract
Recent advances in the solution of the problem of predicting the performance of combustors have been based on finite difference and stirred reactor methods. Due to the limitations of present computers finite difference methods cannot be extended to completely include fuel spray dynamics and realistic chemical kinetics. This difficulty is overcome by using the computed flow patterns to define a network of interconnected stirred and plug-flow reactors. The detailed kinetic scheme presently consists of 13 species undergoing 18 reactions to represent the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels such as kerosine.
