TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of combustion chamber air supply structure, and particularly relates to a combustion chamber staged air supply structure optimization method based on CFD. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coke is an indispensable raw material in the steel industry. China, as the world's largest coke producer, has a huge annual constant. However, the coke production process is accompanied by serious air pollution. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the main environmental pollutants. Long-term exposure to NOx can cause respiratory diseases and may form acid rain. The coke oven combustion chamber is the main area of NOx generation. The high-temperature combustion process is the key to the formation of NOx. In order to reduce the generation of NOx in the combustion process, the main measures usually taken include reducing the average combustion temperature, avoiding local high temperature and reducing the oxygen concentration in the reaction zone. The current mainstream low-oxygen combustion technology includes fuel staging, air staging and flue gas recirculation, etc. Among them, the air staging technology is concerned due to its low cost, strong compatibility and accurate control. It creates a poor oxygen condition in the main combustion zone by sending combustion air into the combustion zone in stages, and inhibits the generation of thermal NOx.
[0003] Although the air staging technology shows potential in reducing NOx, its effect depends largely on the structural parameters of the secondary air system, such as the secondary air height, the inlet size and the incident angle, etc. Existing researches are mostly focused on the overall influence of air staging on NOx emission, and the specific structural parameters of the secondary air system on the flow, combustion and NOx generation mechanism in the coke oven vertical fire channel are not fully studied, resulting in more NOx emission and uneven temperature distribution in the coke oven combustion chamber.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. The implementation process of how to apply technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.
[0017] Coke oven site experiments face challenges such as high temperature, long cycle and parameter delay. In order to solve the technical problems that the existing technology does not fully study how the specific structural parameters of the secondary air system of the coke oven combustion chamber affect the flow, combustion and NOx generation mechanism in the vertical flue of the coke oven, resulting in more NOx emissions and uneven temperature distribution in the coke oven combustion chamber, the present application provides a combustion chamber staged air supply structure optimization method based on CFD. The CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics Model) numerical simulation is used as a powerful tool for in-depth understanding and optimization of the coke oven combustion process, so as to obtain a systematic and accurate optimization method. The method can be used for parameterized modeling, multi-physical field simulation and sensitivity analysis of the key geometric parameters of the coke oven combustion chamber staged air supply structure, especially the secondary air inlet, so as to determine the optimal structure configuration. Under the premise of ensuring the quality of coke, the minimization of NOx emission and the uniformization of temperature distribution are realized. The method accurately optimizes the height, length and angle of the secondary air inlet through parameterized modeling, systematic CFD simulation and multi-objective evaluation, so as to effectively reduce the NOx emission of the coke oven combustion chamber and improve the uniformity of its temperature distribution. The following takes a 6-meter-high coke oven chamber vertical flue as the research object to specifically explain the detailed steps of the present application: S1: According to the target coke oven vertical flue, a coke oven combustion chamber three-dimensional model is established, and the height, length and angle of the secondary air inlet are all set as adjustable parameters: Firstly, the accurate geometric dimensions of the target coke oven vertical flue are collected, please refer to Figure 1As shown, a schematic diagram of a coke oven vertical flue physical model is shown, wherein (a) is the original vertical flue structure, (b) is the air staged combustion chamber structure with the addition of the secondary air inlet, the total height of the flue is 5100mm, composed of the ascending flue and the descending flue, connected by the upper cross-hole and the lower circulating window, and the combustion chamber bottom is provided with a primary air inlet with a size of 72mm x 120mm, a coke oven gas (COG) inlet with a diameter of 50mm, and an outlet located in the side wall of the descending flue.
[0018] Based on the above dimensions, a three-dimensional entity model of the vertical flue can be established using software such as three-dimensional SpaceClaim, and then a secondary air inlet is created on the inner side wall of the ascending flue. The key structural parameters of the secondary air inlet include the secondary air inlet height (h) from the bottom of the flue, the length (L) of the inlet channel, and the angle (a) between the inlet and the flue wall. These three parameters are set as independent design variables, i.e. adjustable design parameters. Through parameterization driving, these design variables can be easily modified to generate different geometric models for subsequent simulation analysis. After the model is established, necessary simplification can also be performed to ensure the quality of the subsequent mesh and the calculation efficiency.
[0019] S2: Set up a computational fluid dynamics model, including mesh division, boundary condition setting and control equation configuration; The coke oven combustion chamber three-dimensional model constructed in S1 step is imported into icem software for mesh division. The calculation domain can be discretized using structured mesh mainly composed of hexahedron. Then several key flow regions in the coke oven combustion chamber three-dimensional model are determined, such as the coke oven gas inlet, primary air inlet, secondary air inlet and outlet, etc. Local mesh encryption is then performed to obtain several grid models with different grid quantities. Subsequently, mesh independence verification is performed, and the outlet temperature, average heating wall temperature and outlet nitrogen oxide concentration (taking NO concentration as an example) under several different grid quantities are compared, Figure 2 The grid independence verification structure diagram is shown, which gives the outlet temperature, average heating wall temperature and outlet NO concentration under four different grid quantities (93.7 million, 139.4 million, 237.3 million and 334.1 million). According to the figure, when the grid quantity reaches 237.3 million, the relative error of each parameter is less than the error threshold, for example, the error threshold is set to 1%. At this time, the grid model is selected for all subsequent simulations to balance the calculation accuracy and efficiency.
[0020] The boundary conditions are set as follows: the coke oven gas can be preheated to a gas preheating temperature, such as about 50℃, and the combustion air can be preheated to an air preheating temperature, such as about 1100℃. The fuel inlet and the primary air inlet are set as mass flow inlets, and the fuel mass flow can be set to 7.02kg / h, and the primary air accounts for about 50% (mass ratio) of the total air. The secondary air inlet can also be set as a mass flow inlet, and the remaining 50% of the air is provided, i.e., the secondary air accounts for about 50% (mass ratio) of the total air, i.e., the sum of the primary air and the secondary air accounts for 1 of the total air. The outlet can be set as a pressure outlet, and all the walls at the outlet are set as no-slip walls, and a certain value of heat flux density is applied to the heating wall near the carbonization chamber , which is generally set to 7500W / m2. The top and bottom walls near the carbonization chamber can be set as heat sinks, and a heat flux density of less than , which is generally set to 5500W / m2, is applied. The remaining walls near the carbonization chamber are set as adiabatic.
[0021] The following control equation system is configured in the solver of software such as ANSYS Fluent for calculation and simulation: the Realizable k-ε turbulence equation is used in combination with the extendable wall function to simulate turbulent flow; the non-premixed combustion model is used to simulate the turbulent combustion process of coke oven gas and air, and the component concentration is determined by solving the mixture fraction transport equation; the discrete ordinate (DO) model is used to simulate the radiation heat transfer at high temperature; based on the Zeldovich mechanism, a thermal NO generation model is set for convenience of observation, and only thermal NO (accounting for more than 95%) is considered, i.e., the content of outlet NO is used as a basis for subsequent data screening. The solver uses a pressure-based steady-state solver, the pressure-velocity coupling uses the SIMPLE algorithm, and the momentum and energy equations use a second-order upwind format.
[0022] S3: The effects of the height, length and angle of the secondary air inlet on combustion and pollutant emission are studied by the control variable method, in order to reduce the outlet nitrogen oxide concentration (since NO is the main component, the NO concentration data is used for subsequent analysis) and improve the longitudinal temperature uniformity of the flue (measured by the temperature distribution standard deviation) as the optimization target. The effects of the three wind port design parameters of the secondary air inlet are systematically studied by the control variable method, as follows: 1. The process of analyzing the secondary air inlet height h is as follows: fix the two structure parameters L and a, and set several different h values, such as h=1.53m, 2.04m, 2.55m, 3.06m, 3.57m and 4.08m, Figure 3 (a) temperature distribution in YOZ cross-section, (b) O2 mole fraction distribution, and (c) NO mole fraction distribution in XOZ cross-section, from Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be found that with the increase of h, the combustion zone is obviously separated into primary combustion zone and secondary combustion zone. The primary combustion zone burns under lean oxygen condition, resulting in the decrease of oxygen concentration in this region, which inhibits the reaction of N2 and O2 to generate NO. At the same time, the highest temperature in the flue decreases from 2340 K (h = 1.53 m) to 2140 K (h = 4.08 m), and the outlet nitrogen oxide concentration (taking NO concentration as an example) decreases significantly from 1304 ppm to 281 ppm. The temperature standard deviation systematically decreases with the increase of h, indicating that the temperature uniformity is improved. However, the increase of h also causes the temperature fluctuation at the bottom of the flue, and the bottom temperature reaches the highest value of 1682 K at h = 3.06 m, which can meet the demand. The continuous increase of h, such as to 3.57 m and 4.08 m, leads to the gradual decrease of the bottom temperature, and too low bottom temperature may affect the coking of the corresponding carbonization chamber, so a relatively optimal value of h, i.e. 3.06 m, can be determined.
[0023] 2. The process of analyzing the secondary air inlet length L is as follows: fixing h = 3.06 m and a, setting several different L values, such as taking L = 140 mm, 160 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, 220 mm and 240 mm as examples, Figure 6 (a) temperature distribution in YOZ cross-section, (b) turbulent kinetic energy distribution, and (c) NO mole fraction distribution in XOZ cross-section, from Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 It can be found that the increase of L leads to the increase of the cross-sectional area of the secondary air inflow, and the inlet velocity decreases from 6.7 m / s to 3.9 m / s, thereby reducing the average flow velocity of the flue gas in the flue (from 1.02 m / s to 0.95 m / s). The decrease of flow velocity weakens the turbulent mixing intensity, leading to the weakening of the combustion intensity in the secondary combustion zone, the contraction of the high-temperature zone, and the decrease of the average temperature from 1731 K (L = 140 mm) to 1708 K (L = 240 mm). This collectively leads to the decrease of NO generation, and the outlet NO concentration decreases approximately linearly from 434 ppm to 374 ppm. The temperature standard deviation reaches the minimum value at L = 180 mm, indicating that the temperature distribution is the most uniform at this time. When L exceeds 180 mm, the temperature uniformity deteriorates, so L = 180 mm can be determined as a relatively optimal value.
[0024] 3. The process of analyzing the secondary air angle α (i.e., the angle between the secondary air inlet and the flue wall) is as follows: With h = 3.06m and L = 180mm fixed, several different α values are set, for example, α = 60°, 55°, 50°, 45°, 40°, and 35°. Figure 9 (a) shows the temperature distribution at the YOZ cross section within the flue, (b) shows the H2 mole fraction distribution at the XOZ cross section, and (c) shows the NO mole fraction distribution. Figure 9 and Figure 10 It can be observed that as α decreases, the flame in the secondary combustion zone gradually deviates towards the right wall, posing a risk of corrosion. However, a smaller α results in a more uniform distribution of combustible components (such as H2) within the rising flue, delaying the combustion reaction and preventing the formation of localized high-temperature zones. This suppresses the formation of thermal NO, and both the maximum flue temperature and the outlet NO concentration decrease as α decreases, with the outlet NO concentration dropping from 400 ppm (α=60°) to 283 ppm (α=30°). Therefore, it is necessary to select a suitable angle that meets specific requirements, taking into account both NO emission reduction and preventing flame adhesion to the wall.
[0025] S4: Analyze the influence of each parameter and determine the optimal value of each of the three vent design parameters: Based on the sensitivity analysis results of S3, optimize the selection of each parameter. Height h has the most significant effect on NO emission reduction. When h=3.06m, it can achieve significant NO emission reduction (compared to the lowest point), maintain good temperature uniformity, and keep the bottom temperature at a relatively high level, avoiding the risk of insufficient heat at the bottom. Therefore, the optimal height h is determined. opt =3.06m. The length L primarily affects flow velocity and mixing, which in turn affects combustion intensity and temperature uniformity. When L = 180mm, the temperature distribution is most uniform, while NO emissions are also at a low level. Therefore, determining the optimal length L... opt =180mm. The angle α affects the mixing path and flame morphology. When α=45°, a good balance can be achieved between effectively reducing NO emissions (compared to a larger angle) and avoiding severe flame adhesion to the wall (compared to a smaller angle). Therefore, the optimal angle α can be determined. opt =45°.
[0026] S5: Verify the optimal parameters among the three air outlet design parameters to confirm the optimization effect: Based on the optimization results of step S4, determine the optimal combination of secondary air structure parameters as: h opt =3.06m, L opt =180mm, α opt= 45°. Based on this optimal combination, the final CFD simulation verification was carried out. The results show that: the outlet concentration is reduced to 342 ppm; compared with the baseline condition without adopting the staged air supply, the NO emission reduction reaches up to 80.3%; compared with other working conditions in the single-factor optimization process, this combination achieves the best comprehensive effect in terms of NO emission reduction and temperature uniformity; the maximum temperature in the flue is 2156 K, which is reduced by 46 K compared with the baseline condition; the longitudinal temperature distribution uniformity in the flue is also improved; after all the indicators meet the requirements, this parameter can be set as the optimal structural parameter of the secondary air inlet of the staged air supply system of the coke oven combustion chamber.
[0027] In summary, the optimal structural parameter of the secondary air inlet of the staged air supply system of the coke oven combustion chamber is successfully obtained through systematic parameterization research, accurate CFD simulation and multi-objective optimization. By applying the optimal parameter combination, the NOx emission can be greatly reduced and the temperature distribution can be optimized under the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the coke oven and the coking quality, which provides an effective technical means for the green and efficient operation of the coke oven.
