Due to depletion of fossil fuel, bio-fuels have generated a significant interest as an
alternative fuel for the future. The use of bio-fuels to fuel gas turbine seems a viable solution …

With increasing concern over global climate change, policy makers are promoting
renewable energy sources, predominantly wind generation, as a means of meeting …

The paper presents results of combustion efficiency measurements using Fourier transform
infrared absorption spectroscopy in premixed hydrocarbon–air and CO–air flows excited by …

Recent studies have described and evidenced the enhancement of fundamental combustion
parameters such as laminar flame speed due to the catalytic influence of H 2 O with heavily …

A new experimental method is described that provides high-speed movies of turbulent
premixed flame wrinkling dynamics and the associated vorticity fields. This method employs …

This study presents the effects of O2 enrichment and CO2 (carbon dioxide) dilution on
laminar methane flames. For that purpose, the following procedure was followed: i) …

The combustion chamber is the most critical part of a gas turbine. The chamber had to be
designed so that the combustion process to sustain itself in a continuous manner and the …

Blow-off of swirl flames as well as its mechanism are fundamental issues and attract
continuous attention due to its wide application in modern combustors. This study …

Gas turbine combustors operating in lean premixed mode are known to be susceptible to
flame blowoff due to competing influences of increasing chemical timescales and …

In the present work, an experimental investigation was performed by varying the fuel/air ratio
of a liquid-fuel gas turbine derived burner in the non-premixed mode, until an ultra-lean …
