CFD Simulation and Optimization of Combustion
CFD for combustion systems enable the simulation of a broad range of particulate concentrations, from dilute flows to packed beds. Simulations provide local velocities, particulate concentrations and traces, composition of combustion gases, fuel conversion rates, temperatures, and other critical data. These insights enable Enteknograte’s combustion engineers to investigate operational issues such as local temperature peaks, combustion efficiency and mixing problems. Enteknograte’s engineering team simulation are helping customers to overcome the following and many other combustion-related challenges:
- Improve burner configurations in industrial furnaces
- Reduce NOx emissions from petroleum refineries
- Investigate novel clean energy technologies
- Predict and improve CO emission rates
- Model and minimize thermal stresses in combustion equipment
- Reduce soot formation in furnaces
- Optimize flare stack designs
Conjugate heat transfer (CHT)—the simultaneous prediction of heat transfer in both the fluid and solid portions of the domain—is of critical importance in a full-engine simulation. The accuracy of the predicted combustion in the cylinder is dependent on the temperature boundary conditions in the cylinder. By considering heat transfer in the metal components (e.g., the cylinder head, liner, piston, etc.) in the simulation, the cylinder wall no longer has a user-specified temperature, but instead has temperatures predicted as part of the system simulation.

In the chemical industry, proper reactor design is crucial because this is where both mixing and reaction occur. Mixing can be defined as an operation which reduces the degree of nonuniformity of all properties of a system, single or multiphase with one or many components. For a mixing sensitive reaction, the rate of mixing affects both the yield and selectivity of the reaction. Numerical flow simulations with CFD provide important insights into the flow processes of the entire system vessel agitator and the associated component.
