Investigation of the Combustion Stability of Methane-Air Mixture in Recuperative Burners of Different Geometries

Abstract

The results of numerical investigations of 5.5% methane-air combustion stability in heat recuperative burners (counter flow burner, U-shape burner and Swiss-roll burner) are presented in this paper. The investigation is carried out with the use of commercial CFD package Ansys-Fluent. The boundaries of combustion stability of 5.5% methane-air mixture depending on the gas flow rate at the inlet of the burners are determined.
