Abstract:
Magnetic energy has been used in this research for the treatment of turbine fuel, to reduce consumption, increase efficiency as well as to reduce the emission of certain pollutants.
Our study included the use of magnetic coils with different intensities, which were installed around the combustion chamber and to study their impact on the fuel consumption, as well as on the exhaust gases.
In order to be able to compare the results, it was necessary to carry out experiments without the use of magnets. The impacts of magnetic field enhancement on low-octane fuel in the combustor of an MS5002C turbine were investigated.
The result of this study indicates that magnetic field enhancement can improve the level of completion of the combustion process by increasing the chances of reaction between hydrocarbon molecules and oxygen. The increased reaction between hydrocarbon molecules and oxygen is due to the weakening of bonds, accompanied by an increase in molecular vibrational energy.
Based on the results of the investigation and characterization carried out, it is necessary to optimize the design of the magnetic field sources both in terms of geometry and type of source (use of permanent magnets or coils). Optimization of the location of the magnetic resources in the system must also be carried out to make it technically feasible.
In addition, further studies are needed on the long-term impacts of magnetic field exposure on combustion performance.
