Summary
The objectives of this project were to augment existing information on physical and chemical processes relevant to synfuel combustion, to develop fundamental information and data bases applicable to synfuel utilization in industrial combustors, and to develop associated combustion models and synfuel utilization criteria with special emphasis on spray combustion. An integrated analytical and experimental program has been constructed to provide an understanding of the phenomena involved in the combustion of synthetic fuels: An extensive literature search was conducted to collect and collate available data on the thermodynamics and kinetics of pyrolysis and oxidation of synthetic fuels, related compounds, and baseline, petroleum-derived fuels. Bench-scale spray dynamics experiments were conducted to obtain data on spray combustion processes. Modular models of the combined aerodynamic and chemical processes of spray combustion were developed to represent basic spray combustor configurations. Chemical kinetics formulations were developed to model pyrolysis, soot formation and oxidation, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon oxidation, and fuel-bound nitrogen conversion. These chemical kinetics formulations were based on the quasiglobal approach and were to be suitable for use in the modular spray combustion model. Models of the overall spray combustion process were used in the design of the experimental facility. The analytical models were refined and tested using the results of experiments conducted in the bench-scale spray dynamics test facility and data from other sources. The results of the modeling and experimental program were used to develop fundamental information relevant to the effective utilization of synfuels in industrial combustion systems.
