- Funded by the £1M EPSRC Advanced Gas Turbines project (EP/M015300/1), this study, for the first time, demonstrates the limits of the beneficial catalytic effect of H2O addition on syngas flames. H2O addition extends lean swirl flame stability, compounding its thermal effect to significantly reduce NOx and CO emissions. This novel effect furthered emerging study of steelworks syngas combustion in China (10.1016/j.fuel.2019.115914). The study was presented at the industry-leading American Society of Mechanical Engineers Turbo Expo (2017) and subsequently invited for journal publication.
