Fuel Gas Mapping
• High hydrocarbon fuels are significantly more reactive and energetic (Similar to H2) compared to
natural gas.
• Wobbe Index: The index defines the heating value of a quantity of gas that will flow through a
hole of a given size in a given amount of time. The higher the index the higher the heating value.

 Blown Out. Blown out occurs when the flame becomes detached from the location where it is anchored and
is physically “blown out” of the combustor. Due to low WI, Mass flow rate of fuel through injector will increase
(As it is required to provide the same Heat release) resulting in Pressure drop with possible flame
detachment Result : Dynamic Pressure Amplitudes Solution : Changing the Fuel Injector Nozzle design
(High inert gas components)
 Flashback. Flashback occurs when the turbulent flame speed exceeds the flow velocity (Gas Velocity of gas
before combustion), allowing the flame to propagate upstream into the premixing section (Which is not
designed for higher temperature). (High Hydrogen and Higher Hydrocarbons components)
 When Flashback occurs acoustic oscillations in the premixer section causes fluctuations in the fuel and/or air
supply rates, thus producing a reactive mixture whose equivalence ratio changes periodically in time. Result :
Mixture fluctuation is transferred to the flame where it produces heat release oscillations that drive the
Combustion instability.
 Combustion Instability. Combustion instabilities are characterized by large amplitude pressure oscillations
that are driven by unsteady heat release
 Due to Heavier Hydrocarbons / Hydrogen in fuel
composition will Increase the flame speed and change
flame Centre of Mass (Increasing the Burner Metal
Temp.).
 Chances of Hot spot due to shorter convection
time in the combustor.
Footer can be customized8
 Modified Wobbe Index (MWI): By increasing the fuel supply temp wobbe index is altered from
ISO conditions. The fuel supply temperature impacts the actual volumetric fuel flow.
“All gas mixtures that have the same Wobbe number will give the same amount of heat.”
MWI=LHV/(SG * Tgas) 0.5
LHV = Lower heating value of the gas in Btu/scf
SG = Specific gravity of the gas fuel related to air
Tgas= Absolute temperature of the gas fuel in oR
