Abstract

Two dimensional numerical simulation of reactive flow in coaxial can type combustion chamber is performed. Percentage in air is varied to investigate its effect on combustion combustor flow parameters. The effect of oxygen percentage in the combustion air are investigated fir value of equivalence ratio, and from 10% to 30%. Simulation is performed for constant energy supply to combustor (Q). Preprocessing is carried out using GAMBIT as a preprocessor. Commercially available code FLUENT is used as a solver. Results are compared and observed that combustion reaction rate gets enhanced with increased percentage of oxygen.
