The study of a novel two-tier micro-flame combustor for gas turbines involved
comprehensive modeling using SolidWorks and Ansys Fluent software packages,
alongside physical experiments. Analysis of airflow velocities, pressures,
temperatures within the combustion chamber, and NOx emissions led to several
key findings. SolidWorks modeling confirmed stabilized airflow and uniform
pressure distribution, enhancing fuel combustion. Optimal airflow velocities
(15 and 30 m/s) for different operating modes were determined, highlighting
the importance of airflow regulation. Ansys Fluent analysis revealed
efficient mixing of the fuel-air mixture through the device's two tiers. The
analysis of NOx emissions confirmed compliance with regulatory standards, up
to 15 ppm. These results underscore the efficiency and stability of the
combustor, making a significant contribution to the advancement of gas
turbines while meeting requirements for efficiency and environmental safety.
