The investigated gaseous fuels were methane diluted with nitrogen, simulating LCVGs with different heat values by regulating quantity of nitrogen. The flame shape and thermal field are consistent with experimental results. It consists of two segments of different feature, the lengths of which dependent on inlet velocity. Comparative study of flow fields at cold and thermal states were carried out with an aim to gain further understanding of the flow/flame interaction in the tubular burner. Heat release from combustion diverts the main pressure gradient to axial direction, thereby tangential velocity drop tends to close with axis of swirling, and axial velocity distribution changes to be trapezoid-shaped. Changing in low heat values influences the burning positively, while the flow does not exert an apparent effect.","PeriodicalId":6427,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Materials for Renewable Energy and Environment","volume":"1 1","pages":"770-773"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76172351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After steady-state initialization, a transient starting from air damper opening at the instant of reactor scram was simulated. Key parameters, such as mass flow rate in intermediate loop under natural circulation, heat removed by DRACS, air temperature at AHX outlet, coolant temperature at both side of DHX, are calculated, which preliminary showed the effectiveness of the code.

The results demonstrated that due to the secondary air supply, a temperature as high as 900oC in the oxidation zone for a better tar cracking.
