Numerical Simulation of Burner for Micro Gas Turbine

Abstract

In order to study affects of oxy fuel combustion on micro gas turbine ,three axial swirl burners with different installation angles for micro gas turbine were designed, flue gas recycle/oxy fuel was used to burn natural gas. Numerical simulation was used to study flow field and combustion conditions. The result shows that application of axial swirl burner promotes mixing process of natural gas and oxygen and recirculation brought about to promote the stability of fire, uniformity of outlet temperature was reduced. With the increase of swirl installation angle, backflow becomes more intense, and uniformity of outlet temperature becomes smaller, however, total pressure loss coefficient increased. These results will have a great significance in the design of better burners.
