Abstract: To help understand how methane ignition occurs in gas turbines, dual-fuel diesel engines, and other combustion devices, the present study addresses reaction mechanisms with the objective of ...

Abstract: This paper reports results of experimental and numerical investigations on ethane-air two-stage combustion in a counterflow burner where the fuel stream, which is partially premixed with air for ...

Abstract: Staged combustion can be employed to reduce the formation of CO and NOx , stabilize the flame, decrease the flame temperature, and create better working conditions in gas turbine combustors. ...

Abstract: For given acoustic frequencies of premixed gas-turbine combustors, a classical method not currently in use is explored for assessing whether acoustically driven oscillatory combustion will occur. ...
