In gas turbine combustion application, there is a strong tendency towards high volumetric heat release rates without compromising ignition stability and the requirement of low emission concentrations of NOx, CO and unburned hydrocarbons. In order to meet these demands for industrial gas turbines the lean premixed combustion concept has been developed.In the scope of this paper fundamental experimental work, which has been carried out in order to analyze the important topic of turbulence/chemistry interaction on a semi-technical scale, will be reported. The turbulent intensity and length scales have been varied by a generic burner system, which consists of four geometrically scaled burners. At atmospheric pressure conditions more than 700 Bunsen type flames in a Reynolds number range from 21000 to 128000 have been investigated. Gas/air mixture preheating has been included in the tests as a typical boundary condition for combustion in gas turbines. The natural gas was blended with 25 vol. % and 50 vol. % hydrogen in order to alter the kinetics of the fuel gas.The influence of the aforementioned parameters on the turbulent flame speed were assessed and compared with existing correlations for the turbulent flame speed. Special emphasis has been taken on the influence of gas/air mixture preheating and kinetics.Copyright © 2013 by ASME and Alstom Technology
