Abstract

A chemical reactor model (CRM) was developed for a jet stirred reactor (JSR) to predict the emission of exhaust such as NOx. In this study, a two-PSR model was chosen as the chemical reactor model for the JSR. The predictions of NO formation in lean premixed methane-air combustion in the JSR were carried out by using CHEMKIN and GRI 3.0 methane-air combustion mechanism which include the four NO formation mechanisms. The calculated results were compared with Rutar's experimental data for the validation of the model. The effects of important parameters on NO formation and the contributions of the four NO pathways were investigated. In the flame region, the major pathway is the prompt mechanism, and in the post flame region, the major pathway is the Zelodovich mechanism. Under the lean premixed condition, the N2O mechanism is the important pathway in both flame and postflame regions.

제트 혼합 반응기(JSR) 내의 NOx와 같은 배출물질을 예측하기 위해서 화학반응기 모델을 개발했다. 본 연구에서는 JSR에 대한 화학반응기 모델로서 two-PSR 모델이 채택되었다. CHEMKIN 코드와 4가지 NO 생성 메커니즘을 포함한 GRI 3.0 메탄-공기 연소 메커니즘을 이용해서 JSR내의 희박 예혼합 메탄-공기 연소의 NO 생성예측을 실시하였다. 모델의 검증을 위해서 계산된 결과를 Rutar의 실험 데이터와 비교하였다. NO 생성의 중요 파라미터와 4 가지 NO 경로의 기여도를 조사하였다. 화염 영역에서는 prompt 메커니즘이 주된 경로이고, 화염후영역에서는 Zeldovich 메커니즘이 주된 경로이다. 희박 예혼합 조건에서는 N2O 메카니즘이가 화염 및 화염후 영역 모두에서 중요한 경로이다.
