THE ROLE OF KINETIC AND DIFFUSIONAL FACTORS IN THE COMBUSTION OF FUELS IN GAS-TURBINE ENGINES,
Abstract
The process of combustion of fuel in a gas-turbine combustion chamber may be governed, according to the fuel and the conditions in the chamber, either by physical factors, in which case it will proceed in the diffusional region, or by the rate of the chemical reaction of combustion, in which case it will proceed in the kinetic region instead. The process of combustion in the chamber can be intensified by changing the structure of the hydrocarbons composing the fuel, or by adding special compounds to the standard fuel. The additives exert an initiating action on the process of fuel combustion in cases where it is governed by the rate of the chemical reaction of combustion, and do not exert such an action when the fuel combustion process is governed instead by the atomization and vaporization of the fuel.
