Effect of Inlet Air Temperature on Liquid Fuel Combustion in Taper Can Gas Turbine Combustion Chamber

Abstract:

The influence of inlet air temperature on penetration, vaporization and combustion of atomized liquid fuel droplets which is sprayed in a stream of turbulent swirling air flow stream located inside taper can gas turbine combustion chamber has been simulated using the commercial Computational fluid dynamics code star CD. It was observed that the variation of inlet air temperature plays a significant role on penetration, vaporization and combustion. The results were presented with help of plot of average temperature and contour plots of turbulent kinetic energy.
