Hydrocarbon Constituents of T-56 Combustor Exhaust
Abstract
Cryogenic sampling was used to sample hydrocarbon exhaust from a T-56 turbine engine combustor under conditions simulating idle power of several different aircraft. Parameters studied were fuel type--JP4, JP5, and JP8--and the combustor operating pressure--15, 33, 50, and 75 psig. Samples were analyzed with a gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer-data system which separated 148 compounds; the hydrocarbon content of the exhaust was inversely proportional to the inlet pressure and directly proportional to the boiling point and density of the fuel type.
