The position of gas turbine power plants with respect to the emission of nitrogen oxides by fossil-fueled energy installations

The amount of nitrogen oxides introduced into the atmosphere by gas turbines is very significant in relation to the total amount of nitrogen oxide emissions produced by chemical installations and combustion engines. Turbine manufacturers are therefore working to develop combustion chambers with sufficiently low nitrogen oxide emission concentrations. Attention is given to aspects of nitrogen oxide formation in gas turbines, the parameters which determine this formation, and suitable approaches to reducing nitrogen oxide emissions.

Comparison of axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric nozzles installed on the F-15 configuration

An investigation has been conducted in the Langley 16-foot transonic tunnel to determine nozzle/afterbody performance of nonaxisymmetric nozzles installed in a 1/12-scale F-15 propulsion model. Tests were performed at Mach numbers from 0.60 to 1.20 at angles-of-attack from -2 to +9 deg and jet-total-pressure ratios from 1.0 (jet-off) to 5.0, depending on Mach number. The baseline F-15 afterbody was tested with axisymmetric nozzles, and two different two-dimensional wedge nozzle afterbody designs. Results of this investigation indicate that one of the two-dimensional afterbody designs had lower drag than the baseline at a Mach number of 1.20, and about the same drag for subsonic Mach numbers at scheduled nozzle pressure ratios. Thrust vectoring of the two-dimensional wedge nozzles produced significant induced lift on the afterbody and horizontal tails, while thrust reversing had little effect on horizontal tail effectiveness.

Effect of an integrated scramjet installation on the subsonic performance of an aircraft designed to Mach 6 cruise

Various factors contributing to the high drag caused by the installation of a six-module scramjet engine were determined from wind tunnel tests at Mach numbers from 0.2 to 0.7. Methods for alleviating this drag were also explored. The external exhaust nozzle, required for good cruise performance, was a major contributor. Of the drag produced by the engine modules, a significant fraction was attributable to wall divergence in the combustor. Good drag simulation could be achieved by using a single fuel injection strut having approximately the same cross-sectional area as the three used on the full-scale engine. External exhaust nozzle fences had a small but beneficial effect on maximum L/D and a flap which diverted the flow away from the inlet was effective in decreasing drag but only at low angles of attack.
