A Review of Turbopropulsion Combustion. Part I. Fundamentals of Combustion. Part II. Turbopropulsion Combustion Technology.

Abstract

This report constitutes a reprint of two chapters on turbopropulsion combustion expressly prepared as part of a Propulsion Text Book entitled A Comprehensive Study of Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines, edited by G. C. Oates. A variety of subjects are reviewed ranging from fundamental chemistry, thermodynamics and gas dynamics of combustion to jet engine combustor design factors, performance characteristics and engineering/analysis tools. In addition, the impact of environmental controls and regulations is discussed and the effects alternate and/or non-spec fuels may have on combustion system performance is examined. Each chapter includes an extensive reference list of related topics many of which expand further on key points discussed.
