... characteristics in the presence of steam. The effect of steam injection into the gas turbine combustor under both spray and superheated liquid fuel injection conditions is studied experimentally on an atmospheric test rig. The experiments are conducted at atmospheric pressure and an elevated combustion air...

...Saeed Izadi; Jan Zanger; Hannah Seliger-Ost; Peter Kutne; Manfred Aigner A major challenge for gas turbine combustor technology is the emission of NO x and carbon monoxide (CO). Achieving an optimal premixed, prevaporized, dry low-NO x condition is a critical issue for liquid fuel combustors...

...Malika Zghal; Pierre Gauthier; Xiaoxiao Sun; Charith Wijesinghe; Vishal Sethi For gas turbine combustors, injecting liquid fuel in crossflow can achieve superior mixing characteristics to improve performance and reduce emissions. Robust numerical design tools are needed to accelerate...

... fuel flexibility. Despite having to deal with a new set of challenges while utilizing liquid fuel in the burner, first steps are taken to gain more information on the influencing operational parameters. In this regard, a FLOX ® -based liquid fuel burner is developed to fit into a newly designed...

...Hao Zhou; Zihua Liu; Chengfei Tao; Mingxi Zhou This paper presents an experimental investigation of using a microperforated plate (MPP) backed by an adjustable cavity to mitigate the combustion instabilities of liquid fuel swirl flame. The acoustic properties of MPPs with different porosities...
