Abstract
Connection between pilot fuel flow and pressure pulsations in dry low emission combustor is established on base of experimental data. Determining quantitative criteria of homogeneous or diffusion flame is formulated. The criteria give chance to evaluate quality of mixing fuel and air and combustion without emission measuring. The root-mean-square deviation of the dependence of the distribution of the air-fuel mixture concentration field over the combustion chamber cross section on the correlation coefficient between the pilot fuel ratio and the double amplitude of pressure pulsations in the flame tubes for a homogeneous (technically mixed air-fuel mixture) circuit was approximated based on the data obtained. The results obtained make it possible to significantly improve the quality of emission prediction by refining the semi-empirical mathematical model of the nitrogen oxides' generation, built on the basis of the Zeldovich thermal mechanism for low-emission operating modes of dry low emission combustor of the gas turbine engines. The account of heterogeneity of the process in the flame tubes makes it possible to move from the assumption of the geometric and gas-dynamic identity of the flame tubes to their actual heterogeneity. This conclusion allows refining the model. The developed mathematical model can be used as a virtual emission sensor in advanced tracking control systems of gas turbine engines.
