Abstract:

This article takes the jet-in-hot-coflow (JHC) combustor as the research object and conducts numerical simulation
of pollutants from non-premixed combustion of hydrogen blended methane under multivariate wide-range conditions. Quantitative analysis is conducted on the effects of hydrogen blended ratio of central fuel jet, velocity of
central fuel jet, and the oxygen content and temperature of the hot coflow on combustion temperature, reaction rate,
and the generation of major pollutants. The results show that with an increase of hydrogen blended ratio, the
reaction at the inlet becomes more intense and the temperature peak is higher, the combustion rate increases, the
high-temperature region becomes wider, the mass fraction of CO and CO2 decrease, while the mass fraction of NOx
increases. As the oxygen mass fraction of hot coflow increases, the mass fraction of CO first increases and then
decreases, and the increase of the NOx mass fraction peak can reach 250% . With the increase of hot coflow
temperature, CO mass fraction increases, CO2 mass fraction decreases, and the average increase of the NOx mass
fraction peak can reach 230%. This paper can provide basic theoretical support for predicting pollutant emissions
of hydrogen blended fuels in engineering applications.
