Fundamental Modelling of Kinetics, Mixing and Evaporating in Combustors

Abstract

An extensive and ambitious study was made with the objective of relating all relevant aspects of current fundamental knowledge of combustion with the performance of actual combustors used in propulsion systems. The results of such a study contributes to establishing realistic design criteria for efficient, stable and low pollution combustors. In particular, an understanding of the fundamental combustion, science and technology limitations permit systems to be optimized at an early stage in the design procedure. Keywords; Gas turbine engines; Scramjet engines; Gas turbine combustors.
