Investigation of liquid hydrocarbons combustion under combined supply of steam and oxidizer-diluent gases

Abstract

This research is devoted to the experimental determination of regime parameters of stable combustion of diesel fuel with combined supply of steam and oxidizer-diluent gases into the gas generation chamber. When using the system of forced supply of diluent gases and oxidizer into the burner device, the flame breakdown limits in the burner were determined. Average temperature profiles along the vertical axis of the burner were obtained for the found modes of stable combustion of diesel fuel. The addition of diluent in the form of nitrogen or carbon dioxide to primary air leads to a significant decrease in the maximum temperature values.
