At the Institute of Thermal Turbomachines and Powerplants at the Vienna University of Technology, a two-stage combustion chamber was designed and constructed to directly drive a gas turbine by combustion of wood dust. A commercial CFD-solver was applied to examine the effects of modifications of the geometry on the combustion performance. Since this parameter study was done with the same operation parameters and the same boundary conditions, the computational results represent the influence of the different flow fields caused by the modified combustion chamber. The particle gasification time, the temperature, and the chemical composition of the flue gas at the combustion chamber exit have been used for the assessment of the combustion performance.

Future regulations may limit emissions of NOx from industrial/commercial boilers as well as utility boilers. The potential methods of control for these boilers are the same as those for utility boilers—low excess air, flue gas recycle, and two stage combustion. Low excess air and flue gas recycle can control NOx from thermal fixation. Two stage combustion controls both thermal and fuel NOx. Further development work is needed to apply these combustion modification procedures to industrial/commercial boilers in which volumetric heat release rate is normally quite high.

Studies have been carried out using numerical modeling methods to determine the effect of the introduction of a two-stage combustion technology (OFA technology) of high-ash Karaganda coal on the characteristics of combustion processes: aerodynamics of flows, temperature and concentration (COх, NOх) fields throughout the entire volume of the combustion chamber of the BKZ-75 boiler at Shakhtinskaya TPP and at the outlet from it. Comparison with the basic regime of combustion of pulverized coal fuel, when there is no air supply through additional injectors (OFA = 0%). To implement the technology of two-stage combustion, various regimes of additional air supply through injectors were chosen: OFA equals 0% (basic version, conventional combustion), 5%, 10%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25% and 30% of total air volume required for fuel combustion. A comparative analysis of the main characteristics of the heat and mass transfer process in the combustion chamber for the investigated modes is carried out. It is shown that an increase in the volume of additional air supplied through the injectors up to 18% leads to a decrease in the concentration of nitrogen oxide NO by 25% in comparison with traditional combustion. A further increase in the volume of additional air leads to a deterioration in these indicators. The results obtained will make it possible to optimize the combustion of low-grade fuel in the combustion chamber of the BKZ-75 boiler, increase the efficiency of fuel burnout, reduce harmful emissions and introduce a two-stage combustion technology at other coal-fired TPPs.

AbstractThe idea of using the phenomenon of rotating detonation to propulsion has its roots in fifties of the last century in works of Adamson et al. and Nicholls et al. at the University of Michigan. The idea was recently reinvented and experimental research and numerical simulations on the Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) are carried in numerous institutions worldwide, in Poland at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) since 2004. Over the period 2010-2014 WUT and Institute of Aviation (IOA) jointly implemented the project under the Innovative Economy Operational Programme entitled ‘Turbine engine with detonation combustion chamber’. The goal of the project was to replace the combustion chamber of turboshaft engine GTD-350 with the annular detonation chamber.This paper is focused on investigation of the influence of a geometry and flow conditions on the structure and propagation stability of the rotating detonation wave. Presented results are in majority an outcome of the aforementioned programme, in particular authors’ works on the development of the in-house code REFLOPS USG and its application to simulation of the rotating detonation propagation in the RDE.
