Optical investigations of the combustion characteristics of a gas turbine pilot burner
This paper presents the application of several optical measurement techniques for the characterization of the combustion behavior of the pilot burner of a gas turbine combustor developed according to the lean premixed prevaporized (LPP) concept. The vaporization of the kerosene fuel (Jet-A) and its consequent mixing with air has been visualized using combined Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) and M
