Abstract:
The combustion of conventional methane-hydrogen mixtures is associated with challenges such as combustion instability and excessive pollutant emissions. This study explores the advantages of porous media, which include a wide operating range, enhanced combustion stability, high combustion efficiency, and reduced pollutant emissions. We conducted numerical transient simulations to investigate methane-hydrogen combustion within a porous media, focusing on a cylindrical double-layer porous burner geometry. The research analyzes the temperature, combustion rate, and diffusion characteristics of the methane-hydrogen-precipitated gas flame within the porous media. Additionally, it examines variations in the position and width of the high-temperature region along with changes in carbon and nitrogen emissions. The computations were carried out for different hydrogen blending ratios over the time interval of 0-0.4 s. The results unveil the transient combustion characteristics of hydrogen-enriched methane within a porous media, offering valuable insights for the subsequent optimization of porous media burners (PMB). This study provides a theoretical foundation for enhancing the efficiency and environmental performance of combustion processes involving methane-hydrogen mixtures.
