Abstract: Reported is a practical method for accurate and fast determination of the instantaneous fuel flow rate out of a fuel injector. Both gaseous and liquid fuels are considered. Unsteady fuel flow ...

Abstract: Heat release rate responses to inlet fuel modulations, i.e., the flame transfer function (FTF), are measured for a turbulent, liquid-fueled, swirl-stabilized lean direct fuel injection combustor. ...

Abstract: Thermoacoustic instability and lean blowout (LBO) are investigated experimentally in an atmospheric swirl-stabilized combustor fueled with gaseous propane. Factors affecting combustion instability are ...

Abstract: The present paper performs complementary experimental and theoretical investigations of a pump-style, high-frequency, magnetostrictive fuel actuator, which achieves fuel modulations by periodically ...
