Numerical Redesign of 100kw MGT Combustor for 100% H2 fueling

Swirling Combustor Energy Converter: H2/Air Simulations of Separated Chambers

This work reports results related to the “EU-FP7-HRC-Power” project aiming at developing micro-meso hybrid sources of power. One of the goals of the project is to achieve surface temperatures up to more than 1000 K, with a ∆T ≤ 100 K, in order to be compatible with a thermal/electrical conversion by thermo-photovoltaic cells. The authors investigate how to reach that goal adopting swirling cham...

3-D Numerical Simulation of Gas Turbine Combustor

This paper presents a numerical solution for a changing combustor geometry. The effects of the geometric change on the main parameters of the chamber are considered. For this purpose the original geometry and the new one are simulated numerically by a 3-D CFD code and the results are compared. Finally, comments are presented regarding this change. A model is used for turbulence modeling and a...

Combustion and Combustors for MGT Applications

An introductory overview of the micro and small-scale devices for the combustion in micro-gas turbines is presented at the beginning of this paper in order to identify and select the main topics to be discussed in the following. The wide variety of combustion systems for this particular application, together with the different strategies and design concepts that are proposes for setting up effi...
