Abstract: The present data set consists of detailed measurements obtained within methanol sprays produced by a research atomizer which is operated with three atomizing air modes: none, non-swirling, and ...

Abstract: With the need to reduce carbon emissions such as CO2, hydrogen is being examined as potential “clean” fuel for the future. One potential strategy is lean premixed combustion, where the fuel ...

Abstract: Current trends in liquid-fueled practical combustion systems are leaving less tolerance for fuel injection deficiencies such as poor spray field symmetry. The present paper evaluates the symmetry ...

Abstract: In a gas turbine engine combustor, performance is likely tied to the spatial distribution of the fuel injected into the dome. The GE/SNECMA CFM56 combustor swirl cup is one example of a ...

Abstract: To mitigate the environmental impact of next-generation gas turbine combustors, the emission performance at each condition throughout the load duty cycle must be optimized. Achieving this with a ...

Abstract: In the area of stationary power generation, there exists a growing interest in understanding the role that gaseous fuel composition plays on the performance of natural gas-fired gas turbine ...

Abstract: A production gas turbine combustor swirl cup and a 3×-scale model (both featuring co-axial, counterswirling air streams) are characterized at atmospheric pressure. Such a study provides an ...

Abstract: The effect of fuel composition on performance is evaluated on a model gas turbine combustor designed to mimic key features of practical devices. A flexible fuel injection system is utilized ...

Abstract: Designers of advanced gas turbine combustors are considering lean direct injection strategies to achieve low NOx emission levels. In the present study, the performance of a multipoint radial ...
