Popis: | This paper explores the modeling and simulation of combustion processes in a gas turbine combustor both with and without water injection for NO x control. The combustor can be modeled as a series and/or parallel combinations of perfectly stirred reactors (PSRs) and plug flow reactors (PFRs). Kinetics models require solution of non-linear and stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The CVODE code from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory can be used for the solution of these ODEs. Here we show that a reduced kinetics set coupled with an Excel callable version of CVODE (as a dynamic link library (dll)) can be used to predict emission trends in combustors. Student use is promoted by using Excel as the pre- and post-processor. |
