RISThe Transfer Number of Hydrocarbon Liquids
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The transfer number (B) assumes considerable importance in the evaporation and diffusion of fuels prior to their combustion. Quite often the transfer number is assumed to be a constant for a ...
The Prediction of Laminar Flame Speeds for Weak Mixtures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In a recent publication [3], the authors tentatively explored the prediction of propane flame speeds using the calculated burned gas temperature (Tb ) and the predicted flame extinction temperature ...
Modeling of Gas Turbine Combustors—A Convenient Reaction Rate Equation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to model a practical combustion system successfully, it is necessary to develop one or more reaction rate equations which will describe performance over a wide range of conditions. ...
Modelling of Gas Turbine Combustors; Considerations of Combustion Efficiency and Stability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The stability and combustion efficiency performance of gas turbine combustion chambers is examined with relation to correlation groups derived from a reaction rate equation obtained in earlier ...
Acoustic Control of Dilution-Air Mixing in a Gas Turbine Combustor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A small combustor of normal design employing acoustic control of the dilution-air flows has been successfully tested up to “half-load” conditions. It has been shown that this technique can be ...
The Pulsed Thermocouple for Gas Turbine Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mechanically pulsed suction thermocouple has been developed. The gas to be measured is sucked through a sonic orifice, thus eliminating the influence of the velocity inside the combustor. The ...
Weak Limits of Premixed Gases
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental values of weak and rich limits, for a wide range of fuel-oxygen-inerts mixtures (H2 , CO, CH4 , C3 H8 , O2 , Ar, He, N2 , CO2 ), are presented for a number of tube diameters. ...
The Experimental Behavior of Premixed Flames in Tubes: The Effects of Diluent Gases
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One of the problems facing gas turbine users is the proliferation of gaseous fuels which may be available. These are so many that a comprehensive rig/engine study would be far too costly to ...
Premixed Combustion in a Baffle Combustor and the Effect of Steam Injection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Details are given of the operation of a 90 deg annular sector of a ceramic-lined baffle-type combustor utilising premixed propane/air or propane/air/steam composition at ambient inlet conditions. ...
The Combustion of Droplets Within Gas Turbine Combustors: Some Recent Observations on Combustion Efficiency
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For many years investigators studying the combustion behavior within gas turbines have presumed droplet size to play a very important role in defining combustion efficiency. Recently a very large ...
