CFD analysis of exhaust gas recirculation in a micro gas turbine combustor for CO2 capture

The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate the effects of CO2 dilution on the operation of an industrial micro gas turbine combustor in order to assess the possible application of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for post-combustion CO2 capture. A complete 3D model of the combustion chamber has been developed, taking into account the conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and radiation effects, and a detailed chemical mechanism has been employed...
