Abstract: The vorbix burner (acronym for Vortex Burning and Mixing) represents a new approach to a practical gas turbine combustor design. The concept exploits the Rayleigh instability of swirling flows ...

Abstract: The performance of a series of diffusers of various lengths, area ratios and cant angles was determined experimentally over a range of inlet flow swirl angles between axial and 48 degrees. ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted with a JT8D-engine sized can combustor modified such that all the combustion and dilution air entered through the burner front face from a single plenum through ...
