Numerical study on the effect of geometrical parameters on flare tip wall temperature and emission

Abstract

Flare tips usually suffer from high temperature that causes more maintenance. By controlling and decreasing the temperature it is possible to reduce the maintenance cost and reduce the emission. Considering numerical simulation technique for combustion, flare tip wall temperature and emission have been studied. Three different geometries include of cylindrical, conical shape and reverse cone shape for flare tip under several wind velocities have been simulated in a 3D space. This study shows that for parameter that have been studied in the research a cone shape can provide better situation such as less pollution or wall temperature.
