The Leeds CFD NOx prediction post processing package will be developed to include more detailed combustion chemistry and directly formed NO2. This CFD code will be applied to the prediction of ultra low NOx emissions for lean gas turbine primary zonesusing fuel injection onto swirling and non-swirling jet shear layers. Internal gas composition traverses at atmospheric pressure and 600k preheat will be carried out on a 140mm gas turbine combustor, which is a similar size to several industrial and new gas turbine combustor cans. Both radial and radial swirlers with CO and counter swirl rotation will be investigated as these systems have demonstrated to capability for 1-2 ppm NOx using natural gas at atmospheric pressure. Also non-swirling multi jet shear layers with fuel injection into each jet will be studied, this has also been shown to have 1-2 ppm NOx. These low NOx designs will also be investigated at domestic control heating boiler conditions, where lean burner operations at 30% excess air is required. The required burner size is the same as for the gas turbine application.
