Investigation Of Various Jet Configurations On Jet-In Crossflow Flame Characteristics At Elevated Pressures, Max K. Fortin Jan 2021

Investigation Of Various Jet Configurations On Jet-In Crossflow Flame Characteristics At Elevated Pressures, Max K. Fortin

Honors Undergraduate Theses

The goal of this study is to investigate how varying the configuration of an axially staged combustion test facility affects the resultant flame and its relevant characteristics. Such relevant characteristics are the jet liftoff and the centerline jet trajectory. The configurations that are primarily being investigated are varied jet configuration diameters, 4mm and 12.7mm, preheated and non-preheated fuel, and different fuels. The testing facility is located at the University of Central Florida in the PERL (Propulsion and Energy Research Lab) facility. The facility allows for modeling an industrial turbine combustor, specifically an axial staged combustor with a Jet-In-Crossflow …
