Abstract
In this work, numerical parametric studies on spray combustion have been conducted. In simulation of turbulence, RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}model$ is adopted. Initial spray distribution is specified by Rosin-Rammler distribution function. Eddy break-up model is adopted as a combustion model. The parameters considered are inlet air temperature, swirl number, and SMD. With higher inlet air temperature, the axial velocities are increased and penetration of primary jet is stronger than that of lower inlet air temperature and temperature at the exit of combustor is more uniform. Combustion efficiency is improved with high inlet air temperature. The effect of swirl number on flow field is not significant. It affect only recirculation zone. So temperature at upstream of combustor is influenced. Combustion efficiency deteriorate as SMD of fuel spray increase.
