The computations are performed using an elliptic solver incorporates the k-epsilon turbulence model. Heat production by combustion is simulated by adding heat generation source terms in the energy equation. And it is assumed that heat generation occurs only a section of the furnace. A number of different inlet conditions with different geometries are considered, and the changes of flow structure, temperature distribution, convective heat flux rate are presented and compared. The results show that, in general, heat transfer in the reversed flow combustion chamber can be improved by properly chosen geometry for the required output.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThermodynamicsMechanicsCombustionFlowHeat transferCombustionCombustion equipmentComputer simulationFlow patternsHeat convectionHeat fluxIntake systemsMathematical modelsTemperature distributionEnergy equationFlow structureHeat generationReversed flow combustion chambersTurbulence modelHeat transferArticleA1996VU135000102-s2.0-003048475611511161238ThermodynamicsMechanicsMelting Furnaces; Burners; Oxyfuel
