COMBINED POWER AND ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIMIZATION OF FUEL-OXIDANT COMPOSITION AND INITIAL PARAMETERS: THERMODYNAMIC APPROACH AND INDUSTRIAL VALIDATION
SINOPSIS
The methodology, procedures, and computer codes have been proposed to predict the influence of the type of fuel and oxidant, and their parameters (temperature, pressure), on specific fuel and heat consumption, on NOx and CO2 formation, and specific issues with dependence on combustion process parameters. It has been proven that enthalpy and energy analysis in a framework of equilibrium thermodynamics assumption provides adequate relative evaluation of the effect of the mentioned characteristics on the parameters under consideration. The relative fuel saving and relative environmental characteristics have been computed and validated for the cases of using natural and coke oven gases, with various fuel mixtures. Great possibilities of the thermodynamic approach for comparative evaluation of fuels and oxidants have been approved by calculating the fundamental combustion parameter laminar burning velocity.
