Abstract

Lean combustion is a method in which combustion takes place under low equivalence ratio and relatively low combustion temperatures. As such, it has the potential to lower the effect of the relatively high activation energy nitrogen-oxygen reactions which are responsible for substantial NOX formation during combustion processes. However, lowering temperature reduces the reaction rate and deteriorates combustion stability. The objective of the present study is to reduce the lower equivalence ratio limit of the stable combustion operational boundary in lean Gas Turbine (GT) combustors while still maintaining combustion stability.
