    EFFECT OF THE GEOMETRICAL PARAMETERS IN A DOMESTIC BURNER WITH CRESCENT FLAME CHANNELS FOR AN OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION AND THERMAL EFFICIENCY
    (YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIV, 2019-12-02) ÖZDEMİR, MEHMED RAFET; Sener, Ramazan; Ozdemir, Mehmed R.; Yangaz, Murat U.
    Domestic cookers are common tools of house appliances in the world and they have significant share in global energy consumption. Therefore, a small amount of improvement in efficiency would result in a huge drop in total energy and resource activity. This study aims at presenting numerically the thermal efficiency of a domestic burner with crescent-shaped flame channels by changing the distance from the cooker to the burner head and the diameter of the burner. The energy efficiency parameter was evaluated analyzing temperature distribution along the bottom surface of the cooker and unburnt HC, CO and NO emissions. Simulations have been carried out with methane as fuel for three different diameter and distance parameters. The results showed that the temperature on the surface and the emission values of unburnt CO, NO and HC decreased with increasing the cooker diameter and distance parameter.

    Combustion performance of hydrogen-enriched fuels in a premixed burner
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020) ÖZDEMİR, MEHMED RAFET; Yangaz, Murat Umut; Ozdemir, Mehmed Rafet; Sener, Ramazan
    Premixed burners have been widely used in many applications for both industrial and household appliances. For this reason, it is very important to enhance the combustion and emission efficiency of premixed burners because of their strong position in the global dimension. On the other hand, the addition of hydrogen to various fuels has been a research topic in the last decade due to its environmental and economic positive effects. In this study, the effect of hydrogen addition to different gaseous fuels at different rates has been investigated in a premixed burner. A numerical parametric study has been carried out using a commercial CFD code. The gaseous fuels namely; methane, propane, LPG and natural gas have been enriched by different hydrogen addition rates with a 10% increment. Moreover, the results of pure hydrogen have been presented. The results reveal that the combustion efficiency for all fuels has been affected positively with hydrogen enrichment except for certain gas compositions. Furthermore, this study has shown that the hydrogen addition in general, decreases the unburnt HC and CO emissions.
