- Abstract
In order to utilize the low-calorific value gases, oxy-combustion technology is generally used to burn the diluted fuel mixture more efficiently, cleanly and safely. Here the thermal balance method is tailored to check the fuel mixture flammability with the help of theoretical flammability diagrams and non-dimensional HQR diagrams. Specifically, the contributions of diluent/oxidant/temperature are checked. Even with limited experimental data, they are found to be a powerful tool to understand the mixture flammability, since they are based on simple principles of energy conservation. This approach provides the foundation for fine-tuning safe operation parameters related to oxy-combustion technologies.
