Abstract
Investigations of the working process in a gas turbine combustion chamber with ecological and energy steam injection operating on liquid fuel are conducted. The mathematical model of the aerodynamic processes and liquid fuel combustion in similar burning devices based on the numerical solution of the system of conservation and transport equations for a multi-component chemically reactive turbulent system is developed. The influence of the relative steam mass flow rate (the ratio of the sum of the mass flow rates of ecological and energy steam to the fuel consumption) on the combustion chamber’s emission characteristics is determined. The obtained results can be used for parameter selection and optimization of promising high-temperature gas turbine combustion chambers with steam injection operating on liquid fuels.
