Abstract: Residence time distributions in a swirling, premixed combustor flow are determined by means of tracer experiments and a reactor network model. The measurements were conducted at nonreacting, reacting, and steamdiluted ...

Abstract: Humidified gas turbines using steam generated from excess heat feature increased cycle efficiencies. Injecting the steam into the combustor reduces NOx emissions, flame temperatures, and burning velocities, promising a ...

Abstract: In the current study, the influence of pressure and steam on the emission formation in a premixed natural gas flame is investigated at pressures between 1.5 bar and 9 bar. A premixed, swirlstabilized combustor is developed ...
