This revised edition provides understanding of the basic physical, chemical, and aerodynamic processes associated with gas turbine combustion and their relevance and application to combustor performance and design. It also introduces the many new concepts for ultra-low emissions combustors, and new advances in fuel preparation and liner wall-cooling techniques for their success. It details advanced and practical approaches to combustor design for the clean burning of alternative liquid fuels derived from oil shades, tar sands, and coal. Additional topics include diffusers, combustion performance fuel injection, combustion noise, heat transfer, and emissions.

This book offers gas turbine users and manufacturers a valuable resource to help them sort through issues associated with combustion instabilities. In the last ten years, substantial efforts have been made in the industrial, governmental, and academic communities to understand the unique issues associated with combustion instabilities in low-emission gas turbines. The objective of this book is to compile these results into a series of chapters that address the various facets of the problem. The Case Studies section speaks to specific manufacturer and user experiences with combustion instabilities in the development stage and in fielded turbine engines. The book then goes on to examine The Fundamental Mechanisms, The Combustor Modeling, and Control Approaches.

Lower pollutant emissions and broader multifuel flexibility are driving forces for advancing aircraft, vehicular, and industrial engine performance and versatility. Both are inherently connected with the design of the fuel injector and combustor system. The traditional concerns, improving durability and fuel economy over the life of the engine, remain additional requirements.**This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of modern practice aimed both at those in the field and newcomers interested in research and development for gas turbine combustors. Detailed description and assessment of a range of combustor design models and methods**Specification and evolution of fuels and fuel injectors**System models for fuel effects on engines and airframes**Evaluation of laser-based measurement techniques for combustor flow field studies

Blending fuels with hydrogen offers the potential to reduce NOx and CO2 emissions in gas turbines, but doing so introduces potential new problems such as flashback. Flashback can lead to thermal overload and destruction of hardware in the turbine engine, with potentially expensive consequences. The little research on flashback that is available is fragmented. Flashback Mechanisms in Lean Premixed Gas Turbine Combustion by Ali Cemal Benim will address not only the overall issue of the flashback phenomenon, but also the issue of fragmented and incomplete research. - Presents a coherent review of flame flashback (a classic problem in premixed combustion) and its connection with the growing trend of popularity of more-efficient hydrogen-blend fuels - Begins with a brief review of industrial gas turbine combustion technology - Covers current environmental and economic motivations for replacing natural gas with hydrogen-blend fuels
