U.S. Air Force Turbine Engine Emission Survey. Volume III. Engine Model Summaries.

Abstract

The gaseous exhaust emissions from 14 military gas turbine engines were measured at various power levels from idle to full power including afterburning. SAE smoke number was determined. The body of data was analyzed to show relationships among the data. These studies included the effect of power setting on emission index and smoke number, variation of gas concentrations across the exhaust plume and the degree of uncertainty introduced by abbreviated sampling methods. A summary table of 'Best Estimate' emission factors for all the engines tested is provided.
