Fuel Effects on Gas Turbine Engine Combustion
Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop and/or improve correlations of fuel properties and engine design with combustion performance and hot section durability. The data base consisted primarily of fuel effect data obtained over the past four years under a number of DoD contracts. The approach taken was first to develop fuel effect correlations for specific combustor configurations, then to tie together these correlations using engine design parameters thereby allowing prediction of fuel effects in any current or future aircraft gas turbine combustion system. In most cases statistical analysis was used to identify the correlating variables. The relationships developed for individual combustors were then correlated with combustor design and operating parameters that were influence by fuel differences.
