Abstract
Gas turbine effectiveness is mainly having an effect on design of combustor; in this work, studies have been made on different parameters of a typical micro-gas turbine (MGT) that changes the flow inside the burning area. A combustion room is created by utilizing SOLIDWORKS modeling tool and exported to workbench design modeler where computational fluid dynamics analysis is performed by ANSYS fluent. We considered a probability density function (PDF) of LPG fuel with non-premixed combustion mode and activated in radiation model of P-1. Design criterions of chamber height and number of holes on flame tube are varied to get the optimum performance and also considered as two dead zones in between the combustion and dilution zone. The optimized design chamber resulted in a turbine inlet temperature (TIT) of 1301 °K with a velocity of 620 m/s and also is provided with low NOx emission below 54 ppm.
