Calculation of CO concentration for liquid fueled gas turbine combustorThe extensive computation time required for the numerical integration of the differential equations obtained in studies of the concentrations of pollutants emitted by gas turbine combustors, can be reduced significantly by assuming the heat releasing hydrocarbon reactions to be in local equilibrium. In determining the CO and NO concentrations produced in spray combustion, it is, therefore, tempting to use the same local equilibrium assumption in order to simplify the kinetic calculations. An investigation of the validity of the local equilibrium assumption is conducted by using a simple analytical model, and then by actually carrying out the kinetic and local equilibrium calculations for typical case.
