Unmixedness represents a way of measuring fuel/air premixing at molecular amount in a turbulent flow

In FIG. 4(a) fuel nozzles 50 become revealed, which are positioned throughout the stress side 32 of each vane 3. The six gas nozzles 50 of 1 vane 3 is positioned in a basically right or straight line, basically parallel or parallel toward leading edge 38, into the upstream third associated with vane 3, in other words. inside the gasoline entry region 34.

In FIG. 4(b) the energy nozzles 50 include positioned about stress area 32 as defined above and, furthermore, the sucking part 31 will get nozzles 50. The gasoline nozzles 50 on sucking side 31 are organized into the gasoline entrance region 34, so that one gasoline nose 50 through the sucking side 31 try other one nose 50 about pressure area 32 of the identical vane 3.

Gas injection through gas nozzles 50 on both edges 31, 32 results in a higher blending quality, as energy inserted from stress side 32 is powered from the circulation toward minimal distance Rmin, thereby filling up the inner a portion of the annulus, while fuel injected through the suction area 31 is actually powered radially outwardly toward Rmax, thus answering the outer an element of the annulus. The unmixedness of the fuel-air mixture after premixing with swirler 43 is decreased by a consideration of about 10 when switching from one-side fuel injection to two-side fuel injections.

FIG. 5 shows the (non-dimensional) stress fall Dp* with as a purpose of the swirl numbers Sn from experiments and CFD data. It clearly demonstrates pressure drop Dp* reduction for smaller swirl data sn.

This is is such that unmixedness try zero (U=0) for totally molecularly premixed disease plus one (U=1) for molecularly segregated circumstances

FIG. 6 shows the dependency associated with swirl numbers sn on parameter I? for I±(Rmin)=20 qualifications and I±(Rmax)=50 qualifications. It is noticeable that a I?-value of around 7 could be selected to reach minimal swirl quantity of about 0.4 for vortex breakdown. In other words. with I?a‰?7 vortex malfunction try realized with sna‰?0.4.

FIG. 7 reveals in (a) and (b), from a downstream end, examples of an annular combustors with burners 1 containing swirlers 43 with swirl vanes 3 with a discharge flow direction I± in accordance with invention. The burners 1 is distributed just as spaced on circle across middle axis of a gas turbine and discharge the flammable blend of energy and fuel into an annular combustor. For the sample shown in FIG. 7(a) each burner 1 includes one swirler 43. The vanes 3 were shown schematically. Within the sample shown in FIG. 7(b) exemplarily numerous five swirlers 43 are organized in a circular design in each burner 1.

The burners of FIGS. 7(a) and (b) could also be used in conjunction with a plurality of can combustors in place of within one annular combustor.

Claims
