Recently, premixed
combustion dominated the field of combustion
research worldwide. The current work is a review that addresses the
stability, approaches, and emission control of premixed flames in
different applications. The study addresses the recent developments
made to overcome the combustor operability issues, including flame
stability and emission control. The influences of oxidizer and fuel
flexibility using oxy-fuel combustion and hydrogen enrichment on combustion
efficiency and flame stability are investigated. Furthermore, the
influences of operating and combustor design conditions on flame characteristics
are discussed. Recent developments in swirl-stabilized combustor are
analyzed and summarized. The effect of premixing on emissions is investigated,
considering a variety of design and operating conditions in different
applications. As per this survey, the application of fully premixed
combustion in the industrial area is even so defined; all the same,
promising designs are under development. The challenges regarding
the application of the premixed combustion technology in the industrial
field are discussed. The role of numerical CFD techniques to predict
the reacting flow field and heat release in premixed combustion mode
is addressed. A numerical case study is presented to address the premixed
combustion characteristics in a swirl stabilizer gas turbine combustor.
