Experimental and numerical study of MILD combustion in a lab-scale furnace

Mild combustion in a lab-scale furnace has been experimentally and numerically studied. The furnace was operated with Dutch natural gas (DNG) at 10 kW and at an equivalence ratio of 0.8. OH∗chemiluminescence images were taken to characterize the reaction zone. The chemiluminescence intensity is relatively low compared to conventional flames...

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Laminar Ethanol Spray Flames for the creation of a Spray Flamelet Library

Combustion of fuels appears in many sets of equipment and applications that involve transformation of a primary not useful form of energy into a secondary usable one that can be employed for purposes of electricity generation, transportation and industrial thermochemical processes. Strict environmental regulations demand for the reduction of the...

Comparative study of different Radiation, Turbulence and Chemistry models for the simulation of a Lab-scale MILD combustion furnace

Flameless combustion, or MILD combustion is a technology that enables stable combustion with high efficiency while maintaining very low NOx and soot emissions. It is characterized by uniform heat flux and can be achieved when fuel and preheated oxidant jets are mixed into a strong recirculating flow. It is a complex process which combines...
