Development of a Combustor Flow Analysis: Part II. Experimental Studies.

Abstract : Measurements were conducted in a full annular premixed combustor to provide profiles of UHC, CO, CO2, O2, N2, H2, NO, NOx and temperature at various axial locations. The work was performed to further develop an existing computational procedure for predicting the performance and exhaust emission characteristics of can-annular or annular gas turbine combustors. The results, however, were also found to be useful in showing areas within the combustor where emissions, particularly NOx, are formed. (Modified author abstract)
