Abstract In recent years, there is a growing interest in blending hydrogen with natural gas fuels to produce low carbon electricity. It is important to evaluate the safety of gas turbine packages under these conditions, such as late-light off and flameout scenarios. However, the assessment of the safety risks by performing experiments in full-scale exhaust ducts is a very expensive and, potentially, risky endeavor. Computational simulations using a high fidelity CFD model provide a cost-effective way of assessing the safety risk. In this study, a computational model is implemented to perform three dimensional, compressible and unsteady simulations of reacting flows in a gas turbine exhaust duct. Computational results were validated against data obtained at the simulated conditions in a representative geometry. Due to the enormous size of the geometry, special attention was given to the discretization of the computational domain and the combustion model. Results show that CFD model predicts main features of the pressure rise driven by the combustion process. The peak pressures obtained computationally and experimentally differed in 20%. This difference increased up to 45% by reducing the preheated inflow conditions. The effects of rig geometry and flow conditions on the accuracy of the CFD model are discussed.

AbstractAs a large number of energy was taken away by the high temperature furnace gas during the EAF smelting process, a huge economic and environmental benefits would obtained to recycle and utilize. In this paper, the energy of the EAF was analyzed theoretically with the hot metal ratio of 50%. Combined with the utilization of the gas waste heat during the scrap preheating, electricity generation, production of steam and production of coal gas processes, the effect of the energy saving and emission was calculated with comprehensive utilization of the high temperature furnace gas. An optimal scheme for utilization of the waste heat was proposed based on the calculation. The results show that the best way for energy saving and carbon reduction is the production of coal gas, while the optimal scheme for waste heat utilization is combined the production of coal gas with the scrap preheating, which will save 170 kWh/t of energy and decrease 57.88 kg/t of carbon emission. As hot metal ratio in EAF steelmaking is often more than 50%, which will produce more EAF gas waste heat, optimizing EAF gas waste heat utilization will have more obvious effect on energy saving and emission reduction.

In the automobile painting workshop, the oven will discharge harmful exhaust gas, the exhaust gas can be reused through the TNV system, the natural gas can meet the emission standard to the atmosphere after burning, and the high temperature gas discharged TNV the system can carry considerable heat. Utilization can effectively improve the economic benefits of the factory. At present, the more mature scheme is to heat the high temperature exhaust gas through the heat exchanger, which can reduce the steam consumption of the factory. Based on the analysis of the comprehensive energy saving content of waste heat utilization of RTO flue gas, this paper hopes to provide some reference and reference for readers.

Gas-turbine-driven generating facilities have been installed at the Houston refinery/chemical plant complex of Shell Oil Company to supply electric power to electrolytic cells on a new chlorine plant. The power plant consists of two gas turbines site rated at 15,500 hp, with 1900-hp helper steam turbines driving 3600-rpm generators. The waste-heat boilers used to recover heat from the gas turbine exhaust are equipped with duct burners for steam temperature control and feature two stages of economizer coils. This paper includes a description of the cycle and aspects relating to the initial operation of the equipment.
