Experimental and numerical studies of several combustor geometries for hydrogen and syngas show the successful advance of the DLN Micromix combustion from pure hydrogen to hydrogen-rich syngas. The impact of the different fuel properties on the combustion principle and aerodynamic flame stabilization design laws, flow field, flame structure and emission characteristics is investigated by numerical analysis using a hybrid Eddy Break Up combustion model and validated against experimental results.}, language = {en} } @article{FunkeKeinzKustereretal.2017, author = {Funke, Harald and Keinz, Jan and Kusterer, K. and Haj Ayed, A. and Kazari, M. and Kitajima, J. and Horikawa, A. and Okada, K.}, title = {Development and Testing of a Low NOX Micromix Combustion Chamber for an Industrial Gas Turbine}, series = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, volume = {9}, journal = {International Journal of Gas Turbine, Propulsion and Power Systems}, number = {1}, issn = {1882-5079}, doi = {10.38036/jgpp.9.1_27}, pages = {27 -- 36}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The Micromix combustion principle, based on cross-flow mixing of air and hydrogen, promises low emission applications in future gas turbines. The Micromix combustion takes place in several hundreds of miniaturized diffusion-type micro-flames. The major advantage is the inherent safety against flash-back and low NOx-emissions due to a very short residence time of reactants in the flame region. The paper gives insight into the Micromix design and scaling procedure for different energy densities and the interaction of scaling laws and key design drivers in gas turbine integration. Numerical studies, experimental testing, gas turbine integration and interface considerations are evaluated. The aerodynamic stabilization of the miniaturized flamelets and the resulting flow field, flame structure and NOx formation are analysed experimentally and numerically. The results show and confirm the successful adaption of the low NOx Micromix characteristics for a range of different nozzle sizes, energy densities and thermal power output.}, language = {de} }
