Abstract
In this study, the flame dynamics of swirl stabilized lean premixed combustion is investigated for kerosene and natural gas operation. A natural gas swirl burner is retrofitted with a twin-fluid nozzle to allow performing all experiments with the identical burner hardware. The mixture preparation complexity is stepwise increased from perfectly premixed natural gas to technically premixed natural gas and lastly technically premixed kerosene combustion. Flame transfer functions (FTFs) for the three configurations are presented and compared with each other. This approach allows to experimentally decompose the FTF and isolate the contributions of equivalence ratio fluctuations and droplet dynamics. Furthermore, FTF data for a systematic variation of equivalence ratio and air mass flow in kerosene operation is presented and the impact of spray quality and convective delay time on the FTF is discussed. For all operation points, stationary flame images are provided and evaluated as basis for the FTF interpretation. Additionally, NO emissions are measured in order to determine the degree of premixing in kerosene operation. Through a systematic FTF comparison, it was found that the frequency range in which droplets react to acoustic forcing can be read from the FTF phase. The spray quality was found to have a significant impact on the FTF whereas a change in the convective delay time does not affect the FTF.
