Concentration distributions in cylindrical combustors

Abstract

Experimental studies have been conducted with the aim to obtain a better understanding of the fluid dynamics of mixing in gas turbine combustors, and solid fuel ramjet combustors subject to spin. The present investigation represents a continuation of studies conducted by So et al. (1984). It is also concerned with the verification of some conclusions reported by Ahmed et al. (1984). Attention is given to the experimental facility and instrumentation, centerline concentration measurements, mean concentration profiles, and a comparison of concentration and axial velocity results in the case of swirling flow.
