Direct-fired sCO2 combustionIdeal Oxy-fuel combustionCH4 + O2 + CO2 → CO2 + H2O
CO2 is directly-fired based onthe Brayton Cycle ConceptTypically highest pressuresranges from 200 - 300 bar athigh pressures to just abovethe critical point

• Existing state‐of‐the‐art, such as GRI‐3.0 Mechanism, has only been validated for pressures up to 10 atm
• Mechanisms have not been developed for CO2 diluted mixtures
• Updated/new mechanism will allow for accurate combustor modeling with multi‐step combustion using a validated mechanism
• Current CFD combustion models do not consider non‐ideal effects
• Thermodynamics and kinetics are currently unknown!!
• Fundamental work can shed light into this challenge

State-of-the-knowledgeState‐of‐the‐art models differ in their predictions even at atmospheric pressure with high CO2
• GRI 3.0 is still a widely used mechanism created 15 years ago• Aramco Mech 2.0 is a recent well‐validated mechanism

• Combustion kinetics model refinement/development
• Existing kinetic models are only valid at low pressures < 50 atm
• We used multi-scale simulations to extend their validity to mixtures up to 300 bar by:
1. Quantum Mechanic simulations of the activation enthalpies in gas vs. CO2 environment
2. Molecular Dynamic simulations of reaction processes

CFD Modeling DevelopmentA CFD code is being developed using an existing open source CFD program called
OpenFOAM, with the incorporation of a thermo-physical library and chemical kineticsmechanism that are applicable in the super critical regime. The resulting code will be ableto simulate reacting and non-reacting CO2 flow through a large range of thermodynamicconditions, as experienced in a theoretical super critical engine cycle.
This will entail 4 steps;1. Incorporate real gas equation of state.2. Incorporate a super critical thermodynamic library.3. Incorporate detailed sCO2 kinetic mechanism.4. Incorporate the non-premixed CMC turbulent combustion model.
Once the CFD code is validated for supercritical CO2 flows, sensitivity and design studieswill be performed on concept burners.
