Abstract:Industrial turbines fired on medium heating value (MHV) gas (nominally 300 Btu/scf) synthesized from coal offer an attractive alternative means of producing electrical power in the future. Peak flame temperatures resulting from combustion of this MHV gas in conventional diffusion flame combustors may be comparable to those of natural gas, yielding undesirably high concentrations of NOx. This paper describes an EPRI-sponsored program conducted to demonstrate a MHV gas turbine combustor capable of meeting EPA NO… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
