Combustion performance of coal-based fuels in a model gas turbine combustor

摘要

Future Air Force technology needs demand that hydrocarbon fuels play dual roles of fuel and coolant over wide ranges of combustion-chamber conditions in terms of temperature and pressure as well as in terms of coolant heat-sink capacity.The operational requirement for a versatile,multiple-use fuel must be achieved with the characteristics of high combustion efficiency,excellent combustion stability,and acceptable emissions from both signature and environmental-impact perspectives.
