Syngas Combustion in a Round-Jet Burner
Introduction
This model simulates turbulent combustion of syngas (synthesis gas) in a simple round jet burner. Syngas is a gas mixture, primarily composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The name syngas relates to its use in creating synthetic natural gas.
The model setup corresponds to the one studied by Couci and others in Ref. 1. The temperature and composition resulting from the nonpremixed combustion in the burner setup have also been experimentally investigated by Barlow and coworkers (Ref. 2 and Ref. 3) as a part of the International Workshop on Measurement and Computation of Turbulent Nonpremixed Flames (Ref. 4). The model is solved in COMSOL Multiphysics by combining a Reacting Flow and a Heat Transfer in Fluids interface.
Model Definition
The burner studied in this model consists of a straight pipe placed in a slight coflow. The gas phase fuel is fed through the pipe using an inlet velocity of 76 m/s, while the coflow velocity outside of pipe is 0.7 m/s. At the pipe exit, the fuel gas mixes with the coflow, creating an unconfined circular jet. The gas fed through the tube consists of three compounds typical of syngas: carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and nitrogen (N2). The coflow gas consists of air. At the pipe exit, the fuel is ignited. Since the fuel and oxidizer enter the reaction zone separately, the resulting combustion is of the nonpremixed type. A continuous reaction requires that the reactants and the oxidizer are mixed to stoichiometric conditions. In this setup, the turbulent flow of the jet effectively mixes the fuel from the pipe with the coflowing oxygen. Furthermore, the mixture needs to be continuously ignited. In this burner the small recirculation zones generated by the pipe wall thickness provide the means to decelerate hot product gas. The recirculation zones hereby promote continuous ignition of the oncoming mixture and stabilizes the flame at the pipe orifice. In experiments (Ref. 4), no lift-off or localized extinction of the flame has been observed.
In the current model, the syngas combustion is modeled using two irreversible reactions:
(1)
This assumption of a complete oxidation of the fuel corresponds to one of the approaches used in Ref. 1. The mass transport in the reacting jet is modeled by solving for the mass fractions of six species: the five species participating in the reactions and nitrogen N2 originating in the coflowing air.
The Reynolds number for the jet, based on the inlet velocity and the inner diameter of the pipe, is approximately 16,700, indicating that the jet is fully turbulent. Under these circumstances, both the mixing and the reactions processes in the jet are significantly influenced by the turbulent nature of the flow. To account for the turbulence when solving for the flow field, the k-ω turbulence model is applied.
Taking advantage of the symmetry, a two-dimensional model using a cylindrical coordinate system is solved.
Turbulent reaction rate
When using a turbulence model in a Reacting Flow interface, the production rate (SI unit: kg/(m3·s)) of species i resulting from reaction j is modeled as the minimum of the mean-value-closure reaction rate and the eddy-dissipation-model rate:
The mean-value-closure rate is the kinetic reaction rate expressed using the mean mass fractions. This corresponds to the characteristic reaction rate for reactions that are slow compared to the turbulent mixing, or the reaction rate in regions with negligible turbulence levels. This can be quantified through the Damköhler number, which compares the turbulent time scale (τT) to the chemical time scale (τc). The mean-value-closure is appropriate for low Damköhler numbers:
The reaction rate defined by the eddy-dissipation model (Ref. 5) is:
(2)
where τT (SI unit: s) is the mixing time scale of the turbulence, ρ is the mixture density (SI unit: kg/m3), ω is the species mass fraction, ν denotes the stoichiometric coefficients, and M is the molar mass (SI unit: kg/mol). Properties of reactants of the reaction are indicated using a subscript r, while product properties are denoted by a subscript p.
The eddy-dissipation model assumes that both the Reynolds and Damköhler numbers are sufficiently high for the reaction rate to be limited by the turbulent mixing time scale τT. A global reaction can then at most progress at the rate at which fresh reactants are mixed, at the molecular level, by the turbulence present. The reaction rate is also assumed to be limited by the deficient reactant; the reactant with the lowest local concentration. The model parameter β specifies that product species is required for reaction, modeling the activation energy. For gaseous non-premixed combustion the model parameters have been found to be (Ref. 5):
,
In the current model the molecular reaction rate of the reactions is assumed to be infinitely fast. This is achieved in the model by prescribing unrealistically high rate constants for the reactions. This implies that the production rate is given solely by the turbulent mixing in Equation 2.
It should be noted that the eddy-dissipation model is a robust but simple model for turbulent reactions. The reaction rate is governed by a single time scale, the turbulent mixing time-scale. For this reason, the reactions studied should be limited to global one-step (as in Equation 1) or two-step reactions.
Heat of reaction
The heat of reaction, or change in enthalpy, following each reaction is defined from the heat of formation of the products and reactants:
The heat of formations for each species is given in Table 1 (based on Ref. 6). Since the heat of formation of the products is lower than that of the reactants, both reactions are exothermic and release heat. The heat release is included in the model by adding a Heat Source feature to the Heat Transfer in Fluids interface. The heat source (SI unit: W/m3) applied is defined as:
 
ΔHf (cal/mol)
Cp (cal/(mol·K)
Cp (cal/(mol·K)
Cp (cal/(mol·K)
N2
H2
O2
H2O
Heat capacity
The temperature in the jet increases significantly due to the heat release following the reactions, this is one of the defining features of combustion. For an accurate prediction of the temperature it is important to account for the temperature dependence of the species heat capacities. In the model, interpolation functions for the heat capacity at constant pressure, Cp,i (SI unit: cal/(mol·K)), for each species are defined using the values at three different temperatures given in Table 1. The heat capacity of the mixture, cp,mix (SI unit: J/(kg·K)), is computed as a mass fraction weighted mean of the individual heat capacities:
Results and Discussion
The resulting velocity field in the nonisothermal reacting jet is visualized in Figure 1. The expansion and development of the hot free jet is clearly seen. The turbulent mixing in the outer parts of the jet acts to accelerate fluid originating in the co-flow, and incorporate it in the jet. This is commonly referred to as entrainment and can be observed in the co-flow streamlines which bend toward the jet downstream of the orifice.
Figure 1: The velocity magnitude and flow paths (streamlines) of the reacting jet.
The temperature in the jet is shown in Figure 2 where a revolved dataset has been used to emphasize the structure of the round jet. The maximum temperature in the jet is seen to be approximately 2040 K. The carbon dioxide mass fraction in the reacting jet is plotted in Figure 3. The formation of CO2 takes place in the outer shear layer of the jet. This is where the fuel from the pipe encounters oxygen in the coflow and reacts. The reactions are promoted by the turbulent mixing in the jet shear layer. It is also seen that the CO2 formation starts just outside of the pipe. This is also the case for the temperature increase in Figure 2. This implies that there is no lift-off and the flame is attached to the pipe.
In Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6 the results reached in the model are compared with the experimental results of Barlow and coworkers (Ref. 2, Ref. 3, and Ref. 4). In Figure 4 the jet temperature is further examined and compared with the experiments. In the left panel the temperature along the centerline is plotted. It is seen that the maximum temperature predicted in the model is close to that in the experiment. However in the model the temperature profile is shifted in the downstream direction. This is most likely due to the fact that radiation has not been included in the model.
In the right panel of Figure 4 temperature profiles at 20 and 50 pipe diameters downstream of the pipe exit are compared with the experiments. The axial velocity of the jet is compared with the experimental results in Figure 5, using the same down stream positions. The axial velocity is found to compare well with the experimental values at both positions.
In Figure 6 the species concentration along the jet centerline is analyzed and compared with the experimental results. For some species, N2, and CO2, the axial mass fraction development agrees well with the experimental results. For the fuel species CO and H2 a fair agreement is observed. For the remaining species, O2 and H2O, the trend appears correct but the profiles are shifted downstream, as was the case with the temperature. The reason for the discrepancy in the mass fractions can in part be attributed to the fact that radiation is not included, but the accuracy is probably also significantly influenced by the simplified reaction scheme and the eddy-dissipation model.
