Creator:: Zeuthen, Eric D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...

Creator:: Walters, Eric M.
Abstract:: The Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution (MILD) combustion regime has received interest from the industrial furnace and gas turbine engine industries due to attractive properties of reduced NO[subscript x] emissions and high thermal efficiency. MILD combustion is characterized by low oxygen concentrations (i.e. 3%-9% by volume) and high reactant temperatures....

Creator:: Weide, Parker D.
Abstract:: This research seeks to identify how changes in temperature and oxygen concentration in the reaction zone affects liftoff heights for moderate or intense low-oxygen dilution (MILD) combustion of a jet fuel and a surrogate fuel. MILD combustion offers a method of burning fuels with reduced CO and NOx production by...

Creator:: Alkhalifa, Ammar M.
Abstract:: Gas turbine engines for propulsion applications can use fuel as a coolant, exposing the fuel to high temperatures well within the ranges associated with thermal decomposition. Species produced as a result of these processes have been shown to correlate with changes in the combustion performance of the fuels. In this...

Creator:: Teope, Kaz I.
Abstract:: The operation of gas turbine engines depends on the reliable ignition of fuel/air mixtures. Gas turbine engines are commonly used as commercial and military aviation power plants. However, consistent ignition within gas turbine engines is still a problem, especially for more challenging operating conditions such as emergency operations. This work...
