The effects of variations in properties and characteristics of liquid hydrocarbon-base fuels in gas turbine engine combustors was investigated. Baseline fuels consisted of military-specification materials processed from petroleum and shale oil. Experimental fuels were comprised of liquid petroleum blends that were prepared specifically to exhibit desired physical and chemical properties. These fuels were assessed for their influence on ignition and performance characteristics in combustors of the F100, TF30, and J57 (TF33) engines at simulated operating conditions. In general, during relatively short duration tests, combustor ignition and performance became increasingly poorer as fuel quality deviated from specification or historical values. (Author).

The effects of potential broadened specification and alternate source jet fuels on the performance of small gas turbine combustors are presented. The review is based primarily on the results of a research program to evaluate the performance of a small 'can' combustor and two reverse-flow-annular combustors with fifteen different fuels. The fuels represented variations in several key characteristics such as hydrogen content, aromatics, viscosity, boiling range, volatility and thermal stability. Alternate source fuels included oil shale and tar sand derived fuels. Results of property changes on performance parameters of the 'can' combustor, such as life, starting and stability characteristics, exhaust emissions and smoking tendencies, are discussed.

The objective of this study was to develop and/or improve correlations of fuel properties and engine design with combustion performance and hot section durability. The data base consisted primarily of fuel effect data obtained over the past four years under a number of DoD contracts. The approach taken was first to develop fuel effect correlations for specific combustor configurations, then to tie together these correlations using engine design parameters thereby allowing prediction of fuel effects in any current or future aircraft gas turbine combustion system. In most cases statistical analysis was used to identify the correlating variables. The relationships developed for individual combustors were then correlated with combustor design and operating parameters that were influence by fuel differences.

The development of clean, sustainable energy systems is a preeminent issue in our time. Gas turbines will continue to be important combustion-based energy conversion devices for many decades to come, used for aircraft propulsion, ground-based power generation, and mechanical-drive applications. This book compiles the key scientific and technological knowledge associated with gas turbine emissions into a single authoritative source.

This volume documents the proceedings of the Symposium on Emissions from Continuous Combustion Systems that was held at the General Motors Research Laboratories, Warren, Michigan on September 27 and 28, 1971. This symposium was the fifteenth in an annual series presented by the Research Laboratories. Each symposium has covered a different technical discipline. To be selected as the theme of a symposium, the subject must be timely and of vital interest to General Motors as well as to the technical community at large. For each symposium, the practice is to solicit papers at the forefront of research from recognized authorities in the technical discipline of interest. Approximately sixty scientists and engineers from academic, government and industrial circles in this country and abroad are then invited to join about an equal number of General Motors technical personnel to discuss freely the commissioned papers. The technical portion of the meeting is supplemented by social functions at which ample time is afforded for informal exchanges of ideas amongst the participants. By such a direct interaction of a small and select group of informed participants, it is hoped to extend the boundaries of research in the selected technical field.
