Identifying the Effects of Combustion Products, Turbulent Fluctuations, and Delivered Energy on Ignition Characteristics of Forced Ignition of Jet-A/air Mixtures

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...

Temperature Evolution of Nonreacting Spark Kernels at Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

Creator:

Caplan, Daniel L.

Abstract:

In the event of a mid-flight flameout of a gas turbine engine, reignition is paramount to occupant safety. Ignition at high altitude can be challenging, due in part to the potentially lower ambient pressures. An understanding of the effects of sub-atmospheric pressures on the temperature evolution of spark kernels is...
