Abstract: A Perfectly Stirred Reactor model, kinetic rate data, and equilibrium adiabatic flame temperatures have been incorporated into a closed form NOx prediction algorithm. The algorithm accounts for ...

Abstract: Steam or water injection has become the state-of-the-art abatement technique for NOx , with steam strongly preferred for combined-cycle application. In combined-cycle plants, the degradation of ...

Abstract: The depth of internal oxidation and nitridation from the surface of the 16 cooling holes in a first-stage turbine blade was measured by optical microscopy after 32,000 hours of service. Maximum ...

Abstract: Laboratory tests of catalytic combustors with distillate fuel have achieved ultralow NOx formation at catalytic reactor exit temperatures and combustion efficiencies consistent with state-of-the-art ...
