Advanced, Small, High-Temperature-Rise Combustor Program. Volume I. Analytical Model Derivation and Combustor-Element Rig Tests (Phases 1 and 2)

Abstract

The report describes an analytical and experimental study of advanced, small, high-temperature combustors. The objectives of the 32-month program were (a) to develop and validate an analytical design technique for small, high-temperature-rise, low-airflow combustors and related components, and (b) to define the limitations associated with these small combustors and related components and the effects of these limitations on the cycle and the configuration of advanced-technology engines. Analytical models were developed to predict the characteristics and performance of the basic combustor elements, including fuel injection, primary zone, dilution zone, and liner cooling. Nine combustor element rig test programs were conducted to provide data to update and validate the analytical models. Based on the analysis and rig test results, a full-scale combustor was designed, fabricated, and tested. (Modified author abstract)
