Abstract

The study of alternative fuels is of great importance, and the study of ethanol blended with kerosene is necessary. The trapped vortex combustor is a new type of combustor and NOx emissions are important in the study of trapped vortex combustors. In this article, the NOx generation rate of trapped vortex combustor was studied using kerosene blended with ethanol in different mass fractions as fuel. The results show that the thermal NOx is the main source of NOx in the combustor, which is mainly generated at the back of the combustor, and the thermal NOx generation rate decreases with the increase of ethanol mass fraction. The prompt NOx generation rate decreases with the increase of ethanol mass fraction. NOx is also easily produced near the sidewall of the combustor.
