The Effect of Temperature on The Emissions of Shale Gas Combustion

Abstract

The turbulent, non-adiabatic, and non-premixed combustion of shale gas and air in a cylindrical combustor is computationally investigated under the effects of equivalence ratio, wall temperature, fuel and oxide inlet temperatures. The results indicate that the mass fractions of NO come to the maximum values at 0.97, 1.03, and 1.03 equivalence ratios for Fayetteville, New Albany, and Haynesville. The rising equivalence ratio raises CO emissions for all the shale gas. The rearing oxide inlet temperature increases NO mass fractions up to 290 K for Fayetteville and 308 K for New Albany and Haynesville. It also enhances CO emissions. The escalating fuel inlet temperature boosts NO mass fractions. However, it reduces CO emissions at all the shale gas combustion. The ascending wall temperature uplifts both NO and CO mass fractions.
