Coal, still used to generate more than half of the electric power in the US, will likely be part of
any future global energy plan. But this finite resource is also responsible for 80 percent of …

Methane and hydrogen-enriched (25 vol% and 50 vol% H 2-enriched CH 4) methane/air
premixed flames were investigated in a gas turbine model combustor under atmospheric …

This article addresses the impact of syngas fuel composition on combustor blowout,
flashback, dynamic stability, and autoignition in premixed, steady flowing combustion …

In this work, the effects of pre-ignition energy releases on H 2 single bondO 2 mixtures were
explored in a shock tube with the aid of high-speed imaging and conventional pressure and …

Lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) combustion is a widely used concept for reducing
pollutant emissions in gas turbines. In LPP systems, a mixing tube is added between the …

In earlier experimental studies of the authors a previously unknown mechanism leading to
flame flashback—combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB)—was discovered in …

This paper reports experimental data on flashback and lean blowout characteristics of
H2/CO/CH4 mixtures. Data were obtained over a range of fuel compositions at fixed …

Combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB) generating flame flashback in swirl burners
was investigated experimentally. Since previous work identified the interaction of turbulence …

This paper reviews the current status of understanding, theory, and models for the physics of
liquid fuel atomization, particularly as it applies to gas turbine and rocket applications. The …

Flame flashback attributed to combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB) is a major
design challenge for swirl stabilized burner combustors. This paper presents an …
