Abstract: In order to formulate a common approach that could provide the spray parameters of airblast atomizers, various processes of liquid preparation, breakup, and secondary atomization have been included ...

Abstract: The effects of air and liquid properties and atomizer dimensions on the spray characteristics of plain-jet airblast atomizers are examined. Mean drop size and drop-size distribution are measured ...

Abstract: The influence of initial liquid film thickness on mean drop size and drop-size distribution was examined using two specially designed airblast atomizers. Both were constructed to produce a flat ...

Abstract: To meet the future goals of reduced emissions produced by gas turbine combustors, a better understanding of the process of formation of various pollutants is required. Both empirical and ...

Abstract: To enhance gas turbine combustor performance and emissions characteristics, better design methods need to be developed. In the present investigation, an emission model that simulates a detailed ...

Abstract: An emission model that combines the analytical capabilities of three-dimensional combustor performance codes with mathematical expressions based on detailed chemical kinetic scheme is formulated. ...

Abstract: Satisfactory performance of the gas turbine combustor relies on the careful design of various components, particularly the fuel injector. It is, therefore, essential to establish a fundamental ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented in this paper on the modeling of NOx formation in diffusion flame combustors where both droplet burning and partially premixed reaction proceed simultaneously. The ...
