연소 연료 및 재순환율에 따른 복사열관 가열 시스템의 성능 및 NOx 저감 효과 연구

초록

This study investigates nozzle diameter and fuel type effects on combustion characteristics and NOx emissions in radiant tube heating systems through numerical simulation. Four fuels were analyzed: LPG, natural gas, coke oven gas, and hydrogen under varying nozzle conditions using computational fluid dynamics with energy conservation, species transport, and thermal NOx formation models. Results show that nozzle diameter optimization significantly enhances internal recirculation, improving fuel-air mixing and reducing NOx formation. Hydrogen exhibits higher flame temperatures, potentially increasing thermal NOx generation, but optimal nozzle design controls this effect through enhanced mixing patterns. The optimized configuration achieved substantial NOx reduction while maintaining combustion stability across all tested fuels.
