CFD Predictions and Field Measurements of NOx Emissions From LM1600 Gas Turbine During Part Load Operation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract CFD simulations of the combustion process and formation of emissions in an industrial GE LM1600 gas turbine have been performed over a range of unit loads. Two combustion models were considered here to characterize the combustion process, the chemical equilibrium model and the nonequilibrium laminar flamelet model. The flamelet model predictions of nitric oxide concentration demonstrated much closer agreement with field measurements of continuous emission monitoring systems, due to accurate modeling of the oxygen radial concentration. The predictions made with this model are within 15 percent at maximum load and considerably better at lower loads. Field measurements also showed that nitric oxide constitutes about 95 percent of the total NOx measured. Unburnt hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions are significantly overpredicted, however, arguably as a result of neglecting their oxidation in the high temperature, fuel-lean environment of the turbine and exhaust stack downstream of the combustor.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
