Then, a predicting model for NO_x emission is established on support vector machine(SVM) whose parameters are optimized by the improved PSO. Afterwards, a new optimization model considering coal quantity and air quantity along with the traditional optimization variables is established. At last,the operating parameters are optimized by the improved PSO to cut down the NO_x emission. An application on 600 MW unit shows that the new optimization model can cut down NO_x emission effectively and maintain the load balance well. The NO_x emission optimized by the improved PSO is lowest among some state-of-the-art intelligent algorithms. This study can provide important guides for the low NO_x combustion in the power plant.展开更多

Two detailed （GRIMECH3.0 ＆ UBC MECH2.0） and two reduced （One step ＆ Four steps） models were examined for various IC engine designs. The detailed models （GRIMECH3.0, ＆ UBC MECH2.0） and 4-step models successfully predicted the combustion while global model was unable to predict any combustion reaction. This study illustrated that the detailed model showed good concordances in the prediction of chamber pressure, temperature and major combustion species profiles. The detailed models also exhibited the capabilities to predict the pollutants formation in an IC engine while the reduced schemes showed failure in the prediction of pollutants emissions. Although, there are discrepancies among the profiles of four considered model, the detailed models （GRIMECH3.0 ＆ UBC MECH2.0） produced the acceptable agreement in the species prediction and formation of pollutants.展开更多

The flame surface density(FSD) model incorporated with two different wrinkling factor models, i.e., the Muppala and Charlette2 wrinkling factor models, is used to describe combustion/turbulence interaction, and the flamelet generated manifolds(FGM) method is employed to determine major scalars. This coupled sub-grid scale(SGS) combustion model is named as the FSD-FGM model. The FGM method can provide the detailed species in the flame which cannot be obtained from the origin FSD model. The LES results show that the FSD-FGM model has the ability of describing flame propagation, especially for stratified flames. The Charlette2 wrinkling factor model performs better than the Muppala wrinkling factor model in predicting the flame surface area change by the turbulence.The combustion characteristics are analyzed in detail by the flame index and probability distributions of the equivalence ratio and the orientation angle, which confirms that for the investigated stratified flame, the dominant combustion modes in the upstream and downstream regions are the premixed mode and the back-supported mode, respectively.展开更多

The results show that the combustibility of HL coal was better than that of RU coal, and with increasing heating rate, ignition and burnout characteristics of pulverized coal were improved. The volume model （VM）, the random pore model （RPM）, and the new model （NEWM） in which the whole combustion process is considered to be the overlapping process of volatile combustion and coal char combustion, were used to fit with the experimental data. The comparison of these three fitted results indicated that the combustion process of coal could be simulated by the NEWM with highest precision. When calculated by the NEWM, the activation energies of volatile combustion and coal char combustion are 130.5 and 95.7 kJ · mol^-1 for HL coal, respectively, while they are 114.5 and 147.6 kJ ·mol^-1 for RU coal, respectively.展开更多

The detailed homogeneous gas-phase chemistry (including 102 chemical reactions), heterogeneous gas-solid chemistry (including 11 reactions) of coke combustion and NO formation, and the heat and mass transfer were taken into account in the present model. The governing equations which are strongly coupled, non-linear and unsteady with 26 unknowns in total, were dispersed into differential equations with the finite differential method. Meanwhile, all the differential equations were numerically solved to give the time-histories and space-distributions oftemperatures of the bed and gas phase as well as the concentrations of all the gaseous species. By comparison, the experimental data were explained well by the calculated results. Based on the kinetic and mathematical model, the effects of O2 content of inlet gas, the initial chemical analysis of coke, bed-temperature and local reductive atmosphere (CO/O2) on NO formation during packed-bed coke combustion were numerically discussed. It was found that coke samples with a higher initial content of [N] and volatile matters, combusted under a suitable O2-containing atmosphere produced less NO emission. The reactions between CO and NO, catalyzed by high temperature surface of coke particles may be responsible for efficient reduction of NO.展开更多

Simulation of flow and radiation status has utilized the standard k-ε model and P1 model. The finite-rate/eddy-dissipation (finite-rate/ED) combustion model and non-premixed combustion model were both used to simulate accurately the combustion and the operation status of the steam cracking furnace. Three different surfaces of the steam cracking furnace were obtained from the simulation, namely:the flue gas temperature field of the entrance surface in long flame burners, the central surface location of tubes, and the crossover section surface. Detailed information on the flue gas temperature and the mass concentration fraction of these different surfaces in the steam cracking furnace can also be obtained by the simulation. This paper analyzed and compared the simulation results with the two combustion models, estimated the operation status of the steam cracking furnace, and reported that the finite-rate/ED model is appropriate to simulate the steam cracking furnace by comparing key simulation data with actual test data. This work has also provided a theoretical basis for simulating and operating the steam cracking furnace.展开更多

The Pt/γAl2O3 and Pd/γAl2O3 disc burners were situated in the combustion domain and the experiments were performed under both fuel-rich and fuel-lean conditions at a modified equivalence (fuel/air) ratio (ø) of 0.75 and 0.25 respectively. The thermal structure of these catalytic flames developed over the Pt and Pd disc burners were inspected via measuring the mean temperature profiles in the radial direction at different discrete axial locations along the flames. The RSM considers the effect of the two operating parameters explicitly (r), the radial distance from the center line of the flame, and (x), axial distance along the flame over the disc, on the measured temperature of the flames and finds the predicted maximum temperature and the corresponding process variables. Also the RSM has been employed to elucidate such effects in the three and two dimensions and displays the location of the predicted maximum temperature.展开更多

The fitted and forecasted results show that the length or inertia of a sequence affects its precision very much, i.e. the bigger the inertia of a sequence is, or the shorter the length of a series is, the less the errors of fitted and forecasted results are. Based on the research results, it is suggested that short series should be applied to be fitted and forecasted; for longer series, the newer datum should be applied instead of the older datum to be analyzed by non- equalinterval GM(1,1) to improve the forecasted and fitted precision, and that data sequence should be verified to satisfy the conditions of grey forecasting.展开更多

The instantaneous DNS results show the near-wall strip structures of concentration and temperature fluctuations. The DNS statistical results give the budget of the terms in the correlation equations, showing that the production and dissipation terms are most important. The DNS statistical data are used to validate the closure model in RANS second-order moment （SOM） combustion model. It is found that the simulated diffusion and production terms are in agreement with the DNS data in most flow regions, except in the near-wall region, where the near-wall modification should be made, and the closure model for the dissipation term needs further improvement. The algebraic second-order moment （ASOM） combustion model is well validated by DNS.展开更多

Several experiments were conducted using water and CO_2 as the heat transfer media in the tubes, respectively. The results indicated that hot air flux, the initial liquid level height and the tube pitch ratio had great influence on the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube bundle(ho). Finally, the air flux associated factor β and height associated factor γ were introduced to propose a new hocorrelation. After verified by experiments using cold water, high pressure CO_2 and liquid N_2 as heat transfer media, respectively, it was found that the biggest deviation between the predicted and the experimental values was less than 25%.展开更多

文摘The evolution behavior of combustion crack reaction of highly confined solid explosives after non-shock ignition is governed by multiple dynamic processes,including intrinsic combustion of explosives,crack propagation,and rapid growth of combustion surface area.Here,the pressure increase can accelerate the combustion rate of explosives,and the crack propagation can enlarge the combustion surface area.The coupling between these two effects leads to the self-enhanced combustion of explosive charge system,which is the key mechanism for the reaction development after ignition.In this study,combustion cracknetwork(CCN) model is established to describe the evolution of combustion crack reaction of highly confined solid explosives after non-shock ignition and quantify the reaction violence.The feasibility of the model is verified by comparing the computational and experimental results.The results reveal that an increase in charge structure size causes an increase in the time of crack pressurization and extension of cracks due to the high temperature-generated gas flow and surface combustion during the initial stage of explosive reaction,but when the casing is fractured,the larger the charge structure,the more violent the late reaction and the larger the charge reaction degree.The input pressure has no obvious influence on the final reaction violence.Further,a larger venting hole area leads to better pressure relief effect,which causes slower pressure growth inside casing.Larger reserved ullage volume causes longer lowpressure induction stage,which further restrains the internal pressure growth.Furthermore,the stronger the casing constraint,the more rapid the self-enhanced combustion of the high temperaturegenerated gas,which results in more violent charge reaction and larger charge reaction degree during casing break.Overall,the proposed model can clarify the effects of intrinsic combustion rate of explosives,charge structure size,input pressure,relief area,ullage volume,and constraint strength on the reaction evolution,which can provide theoretical basis for violence evaluation and safety design for ammunition under accident stimulus.

文摘Non-isothermal combustion kinetics of two kinds of low volatile pulverized coals （HL coal and RU coal） were investigated by thermogravimetrie analysis. The results show that the combustibility of HL coal was better than that of RU coal, and with increasing heating rate, ignition and burnout characteristics of pulverized coal were improved. The volume model （VM）, the random pore model （RPM）, and the new model （NEWM） in which the whole combustion process is considered to be the overlapping process of volatile combustion and coal char combustion, were used to fit with the experimental data. The comparison of these three fitted results indicated that the combustion process of coal could be simulated by the NEWM with highest precision. When calculated by the NEWM, the activation energies of volatile combustion and coal char combustion are 130.5 and 95.7 kJ · mol^-1 for HL coal, respectively, while they are 114.5 and 147.6 kJ ·mol^-1 for RU coal, respectively.
文摘A comprehensive kinetic model of NO formation during coke combustion in packed-bed in presence of noncombustible particles was developed. The detailed homogeneous gas-phase chemistry (including 102 chemical reactions), heterogeneous gas-solid chemistry (including 11 reactions) of coke combustion and NO formation, and the heat and mass transfer were taken into account in the present model. The governing equations which are strongly coupled, non-linear and unsteady with 26 unknowns in total, were dispersed into differential equations with the finite differential method. Meanwhile, all the differential equations were numerically solved to give the time-histories and space-distributions oftemperatures of the bed and gas phase as well as the concentrations of all the gaseous species. By comparison, the experimental data were explained well by the calculated results. Based on the kinetic and mathematical model, the effects of O2 content of inlet gas, the initial chemical analysis of coke, bed-temperature and local reductive atmosphere (CO/O2) on NO formation during packed-bed coke combustion were numerically discussed. It was found that coke samples with a higher initial content of [N] and volatile matters, combusted under a suitable O2-containing atmosphere produced less NO emission. The reactions between CO and NO, catalyzed by high temperature surface of coke particles may be responsible for efficient reduction of NO.

文摘Combustion kinetics of the hydrochar was investigated using a multi-Gaussian-distributed activation energy model(DAEM)to ex-pand the knowledge on the combustion mechanisms.The results demonstrated that the kinetic parameters calculated by the multi-Gaussian-DAEM accurately represented the experimental conversion rate curves.Overall,the feedstock combustion could be divided into four stages:the decomposition of hemicellulose,cellulose,lignin,and char combustion.The hydrochar combustion could in turn be divided into three stages:the combustion of cellulose,lignin,and char.The mean activation energy ranges obtained for the cellulose,lignin,and char were 273.7-292.8,315.1-334.5,and 354.4-370 kJ/mol,respectively,with the standard deviations of 2.1-23.1,9.5-27.4,and 12.1-22.9 kJ/mol,re-spectively.The cellulose and lignin contents first increased and then decreased with increasing hydrothermal carbonization(HTC)temperature,while the mass fraction of char gradually increased.

文摘A simplified model for SO_(2) generation during spontaneous combustion of coal gangue was put forward and validated using the measured data.Using the proposed model,the effects of initial temperature inside the gangue and fresh air supply on SO_(2) generation were discussed.The results showed that,higher initial temperature inside the gangue could accelerate the oxidation rate of FeS_(2) and increase the maximum concentration of SO_(2).If initial temperature inside the gangue increased by about 37%,the total SO_(2) generation increased by 166%.Fresh air supply had less significant effect on the oxidation rate of FeS_(2).However,the higher the fresh air supply was,the more FeS_(2) could be oxidized,which ultimately produced more SO_(2).Although the computed results and the measured data concerning the inner locations inside the gangue had a certain degree of error,the proposed model can provide a relatively precise total release of SO_(2) within acceptable accuracy.Besides,this method provides a useful prototype to predict the generation of hazardous materials,such as CO,NO_(x),and chlorine during the spontaneous combustion of coal gangue.
文摘The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) has been applied to explore the thermal structure of the experimentally studied catalytic combustion of stabilized confined turbulent gaseous diffusion flames. The Pt/γAl2O3 and Pd/γAl2O3 disc burners were situated in the combustion domain and the experiments were performed under both fuel-rich and fuel-lean conditions at a modified equivalence (fuel/air) ratio (ø) of 0.75 and 0.25 respectively. The thermal structure of these catalytic flames developed over the Pt and Pd disc burners were inspected via measuring the mean temperature profiles in the radial direction at different discrete axial locations along the flames. The RSM considers the effect of the two operating parameters explicitly (r), the radial distance from the center line of the flame, and (x), axial distance along the flame over the disc, on the measured temperature of the flames and finds the predicted maximum temperature and the corresponding process variables. Also the RSM has been employed to elucidate such effects in the three and two dimensions and displays the location of the predicted maximum temperature.

文摘The problem of evaluating the sensitivity of non-trivial boundary conditions to the onset of azimuthal combustion instability is a longstanding challenge in the development process of modern gas turbines.The difficulty lies in how to describe three-dimensional in-and outlet boundary conditions in an artificial computational domain.To date,the existing analytical models have still failed to quantitatively explain why the features of the azimuthal combustion instability of a combustor in laboratory environment are quite different from that in a real gas turbine,making the stability control devices developed in laboratory generally lose the effectiveness in practical applications.To overcome this limitation,we provide a novel theoretical framework to directly include the effect of non-trivial boundary conditions on the azimuthal combustion instability.A key step is to take the non-trivial boundary conditions as equivalent distributed sources so as to uniformly describe the physical characteristics of the inner surface in an annular enclosure along with different in-and outlet configurations.Meanwhile,a dispersion relation equation is established by the application of three-dimensional Green's function approach and generalized impedance concept.Results show that the effects of the generalized modal reflection coefficients on azimuthal unstable modes are extremely prominent,and even prompt the transition from stable to unstable mode,thus reasonably explaining why the thermoacoustic instability phenomena in a real gas turbine are difficult to observe in an isolated combustion chamber.Overall,this work provides an effective tool for analysis of the azimuthal combustion instability including various complicated boundary conditions.
文摘The basic difference non-equal interval model GM(1,1) in grey theory was used to fit and forecast data series with non-equal lengths and different inertias, acquired from oil monitoring of internal combustion engines. The fitted and forecasted results show that the length or inertia of a sequence affects its precision very much, i.e. the bigger the inertia of a sequence is, or the shorter the length of a series is, the less the errors of fitted and forecasted results are. Based on the research results, it is suggested that short series should be applied to be fitted and forecasted; for longer series, the newer datum should be applied instead of the older datum to be analyzed by non- equalinterval GM(1,1) to improve the forecasted and fitted precision, and that data sequence should be verified to satisfy the conditions of grey forecasting.

文摘The second-order moment combustion model, proposed by the authors is validated using the direct numerical simulation （DNS） of incompressible turbulent reacting channel flows. The instantaneous DNS results show the near-wall strip structures of concentration and temperature fluctuations. The DNS statistical results give the budget of the terms in the correlation equations, showing that the production and dissipation terms are most important. The DNS statistical data are used to validate the closure model in RANS second-order moment （SOM） combustion model. It is found that the simulated diffusion and production terms are in agreement with the DNS data in most flow regions, except in the near-wall region, where the near-wall modification should be made, and the closure model for the dissipation term needs further improvement. The algebraic second-order moment （ASOM） combustion model is well validated by DNS.
文摘In order to optimize the design of the submerged combustion vaporizer(SCV), an experimental apparatus was set up to investigate the heat transfer character outside the tube bundle in SCV. Several experiments were conducted using water and CO_2 as the heat transfer media in the tubes, respectively. The results indicated that hot air flux, the initial liquid level height and the tube pitch ratio had great influence on the heat transfer coefficient outside the tube bundle(ho). Finally, the air flux associated factor β and height associated factor γ were introduced to propose a new hocorrelation. After verified by experiments using cold water, high pressure CO_2 and liquid N_2 as heat transfer media, respectively, it was found that the biggest deviation between the predicted and the experimental values was less than 25%.
