Turbine Engine Exhaust Hydrocarbon Analysis. Task 1 and 2
Abstract
The environmental impact of organic compounds emitted from jet aircraft turbine engines has not been firmly established, due to the lack of data regarding the emission rates and identities of the compounds. The objective was to identify and quantify the organic compounds present in gaseous emissions from jet engines and to study the photochemical behavior of these compounds. This interim report describes the experimental work performed for Task 1 (sampling and analysis method validation) and Task 2 (combustor rig testing), wherein a variety of sensitive and reliable methods were developed and evaluated for the determination of the wide range of compounds likely to be emitted from jet engines. Tasks 3-5 will be performed between April and September, 1983. At that time emissions from full-scale jet engines be chracterized in terms of chemical composition and photochemical reactivity using a variety of fuels and operating conditions.
