A swirler stabilized combustion chamber for a micro-gas turbine fuelled with natural gas

A Multiple Inlet Swirler for Gas Turbine Combustors

The central recirculation zone (CRZ) in a swirl stabilized gas turbine combustor has a dominant effect on the fuel air mixing process and flame stability. Most of state of the art swirlers share one disadvantage; the fixed swirl number for the same swirler configuration. Thus, in a mathematical sense, Reynolds number becomes the sole parameter for controlling the flow characteristics inside the...

Design and Analysis of Gas Turbine Combustion Chamber

Characterization of a Spray in the Combustion Chamber of a Low Emission Gas Turbine

Operating Range Expansion in a HCCI Natural Gas Engine Using Charge and Thermal Stratification in Combustion Chamber

HCCI operating window has two distinct boundaries of knock at higher load region and misfiring/partial burning at lower load region. Moreover, there is no conventional direct way of controlling combustion timing in an HCCI engine. In this research, experimental study were carried out to investigate the effect of thermal and charge stratification on expansion of the operating range of a natural ...

A Silicon-Based Micro Gas Turbine Engine for Power Generation

This paper reports on our research in developing a micro power generation system based on gas turbine engine and piezoelectric converter. The micro gas turbine engine consists of a micro combustor, a turbine and a centrifugal compressor. Comprehensive simulation has been implemented to optimal the component design. We have successfully demonstrated a silicon-based micro combustor, which consist...
