Numerical investigation of individual factors’ influence on carbon monoxide emission with the help of low-emission combustor’s chemical reactor network model

Abstract

The article presents the results of computational studies of the influence of various factors on the level of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from a small-sized lean-premixed combustion chamber. The influence of the mixture composition, the air temperature at the inlet, the gas temperature in the wall region and the pressure in the combustion chamber was studied. The corresponding dependencies are constructed. The calculations were performed using a chemical reactor network model of the combustion chamber based on the results of three-dimensional CFD modeling.
