Study and Analysis on Combustion Performance and Emission Control for Gas Turbine Engine

In this research, the methodology and solution for combustion performance and emission control of gas turbine engine have been discussed. Because emission control is a big problem in day to day life. Aviation is most powerful and fastest growing field as well as transportation modes in the world. Global aviation contributes about 2.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions and supports 8.9% of the world economic process in terms of GDP. With this phenomenal growth for air trafficking by different national and international airliners, the total carbon space available for flying is being progressively diminished and the consequential emission levels are becoming alarming over passage of time. It is therefore essential to reduce the emission from the aircraft foe a better and greener aviation. A jet engine is a reaction engine, which generates thrust by jet propulsion in accordance with Newton’s law of motion. Hence, the power produced by the engine is high and the emissions are greater than the considerable amount. Emissions generally refers to the greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide, Nitrogen dioxides, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide etc. various methods are developed to reduce the emission from aircrafts such as use of alternative bio-fuel and reducing fuel consumption. This project deals with emission control by reduction in fuel consumption as it is the most efficient and effective method. In this paper, turbofan engine is modelled and analyzed using ANSYS software. The result after analysis showed that increase in bypass ratio reduces the fuel consumption, thereby reducing the emission. © 2024. Carbon Magics Ltd.
