Hydrogen mixed natural gas for combustion can improve combustion characteristics and reduce carbon emission, which has important engineering application value. A casing swirl burner model is adopted to numerically simulate and research the natural gas hydrogen mixing technology for combustion in gas boilers in this paper. Under the condition of conventional air atmosphere and constant air excess coefficient, the six working conditions for hydrogen mixing proportion into natural gas are designed to explore the combustion characteristics and the laws of pollution emissions. The temperature distributions, composition, and emission of combustion flue gas under various working conditions are analyzed and compared. Further investigation is also conducted for the variation laws of NOx and soot generation. The results show that when the boiler heating power is constant, hydrogen mixing will increase the combustion temperature, accelerate the combustion rate, reduce flue gas and CO2 emission, increase the generation of water vapor, and inhibit the generation of NOx and soot. Under the premise of meeting the fuel interchangeability, it is concluded that the optimal hydrogen mixing volume fraction of gas boilers is 24.7%.

O2/H2O combustion technology, as the next generation of oxy-fuel combustion technology with great potential, can greatly increase the utilization rate of clean energy CH4. In this paper, the natural gas combustion process under 6 operating conditions of O2/H2O atmosphere and O2/FH2O atmosphere is numerically simulated. The horizontal analysis is carried out on the characteristics of H2O fraction, CO2 volume fraction and the amount of pollutants (NOx, carbon black), and in-depth exploration of the content of additive H2O and the influence of chemical action on the above characteristics. The research results show that the chemical effects of H2O have a negative effect on combustion temperature, and the physical effects are dominant. The chemical effects of H2O have a great impact on CO production and little effect on the production of CO when the proportion of H2O is 65-79%. The chemical effects of H2O inhibit the formation of NOx and carbon black when the proportion of H2O is within the range of 55-70%. The chemical effect has the greatest impact on the formation of dyes (NOx, carbon black) when the proportion of H2O is within the range of 65-70%.
