description Fuel power plants are one of the main sources of pollutant emissions, so special attention should be paid to improving the efficiency of the fuel combustion process. The mathematical modeling of processes in the combustion chamber makes it possible to reliably predict and find the best dynamic characteristics of the operation of a power plant, in order to quantify the emission of harmful substances, as well as the environmental and technical and economic efficiency of various regime control actions and measures, and the use of new types of composite fuels. The main purpose of this article is to illustrate how machine learning methods can play an important role in modeling and predicting the performance and control of the combustion process. The paper proposes a mathematical model of an unsteady turbulent combustion process, presents a model of a combustion chamber with a combined burner, and performs a numerical study using the STAR-CCM+ multidisciplinary platform. The influence of various input indicators on the efficiency of burner devices, which is evaluated by several parameters at the output, is investigated. In this case, three possible states of the burners are assumed: optimal, satisfactory and unsatisfactory.
