Fuel/Oxidizer-Flexible Lean Premixed Combustion

Strict emission control laws need ongoing development of carbon-capture and combustion technology in order to reduce the increase of greenhouse gases and pollutants resultant from burning of fossil fuels. Concurrently, more efficient combustion systems would result in reduced fuel usage and operating costs. In addition to addressing these issues, this chapter delivers an synopsis of several burner designs and burning methods for gas turbines that generate cleaner power. The lean premixed air combustion and oxy-combustion are two of the combustion models for which emission characteristics are examined and contrasted. Different gas-turbine burner technologies are examined in detail regarding their working code, fuel adaptability, and possible for improved presentation under oxy-combustion settings. These technologies include enhanced-vortex, dry low NOx, micromixer and perforated-plate burners. It is advised that enhanced-vortex and micromixer burners be used by hydrogen enrichment in upcoming gas turbines utilizing oxy-fuel due to their exceptional fuel flexibility and flame stability. Additionally, investigated are the fuel-flexibility methods for producing clean energy, including fuel mixing, syngas combustion, hydrogen-enriched combustion, hydrogen combustion, and hydrogen combustion. gas turbines utilizing hydrogen-fueled appear to be the ideal option for the production of clean energy, given the significant recent advancements in hydrogen production and storage systems. In clean gas turbine design, the adiabatic flame temperature is found to be a crucial regulating restriction for oxidizer-flexible combustors.
