Effect of gas radiation model on the numerical simulation of combustion and heat transfer in oxy-fuel combustion

Abstract:
In oxy-fuel combustion,flue gas is mainly composed of CO_2 and H_2O because the recycled flue gas is used as diluent instead of N_2 in the air. CO_2 and H_2O have an intensive radiation ability as non-polar triatomic molecule while N_2 has no radiation ability,which leads to the change of gas radiation characteristics in oxy-fuel combustion. In the numerical simulation,gas radiation model is an important sub model. Several modified gas radiation models have been proposed for applying to oxy-fuel combustion,but the effect of different gas radiation model on the numerical simulation of oxy-fuel combustion in different conditions has not been unified. In order to research the effect of gas radiation model on the simulation results of combustion heat transfer in different sizes of furnace with gas or coal combustion,one new gas radiation model considering the effect of CO and other six typical models in the literatures were coupled into the numerical simulation by user defined function programming. The results show that: in the oxy-gas combustion,the flame structure is affected by gas radiation models. Meanwhile,the combustion temperature distribution changes and the difference between the results of different models can reach 500 K. Radiation heat transfer between gas and wall is also controlled by gas radiation models. The effect of gas radiation models on flame zone is rather large while it is ignored in the non-flame zone. In the oxy-coal combustion,when the effective radiation layer thickness is around 0.3 m such as in a 100 kW_(th) down-fired furnace,gas radiation models almost have no effect on the coal combustion numerical simulation results. This may be because particle radiation plays a dominant role in the radiation heat transfer calculation.When the path length is around 16 m such as in a 1 000 MW tower type boiler,gas radiation models have a large effect on the combustion temperature and species concentration. The temperature difference can reach 100 K. However,the gas radiation model has no effect on the simulation results in the non-flame zone in middle of furnace.
