    Abstract: In a method and system for the combustion of ammonia, wherein a first combustion chamber receives ammonia and hydrogen in controlled proportions, and an oxygen-containing gas such as air. Combustion of the ammonia and hydrogen produces nitrogen oxides among other combustion products. A second combustion chamber receives the nitrogen oxides along with further ammonia and hydrogen in further controlled proportions along with further oxygen-containing gas such as air. The nitrogen oxides are combusted into nitrogen and water.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine having a combustor, turbine and transition duct to channel hot gas from combustor to turbine. The transition duct has an internal surface on which the hot gas impinges causing a varying temperature profile. A thermal barrier coating is located on the internal surface having a first and second thermal barrier coating patch. The first patch having a first thickness located on the internal surface and within a first area subject to a higher temperature than an uncoated part and bounded by a first isotherm of a first temperature. The second patch having a second thickness located on the internal surface and within a second area subject to a higher temperature than the uncoated part and bounded by a second isotherm of a second temperature. The second temperature is higher than the first temperature and the second thickness is thicker than the first thickness.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating a swirler for a burner of a turbine engine, the swirler having a plurality of vanes and a plurality of mixing channels between the vanes, wherein each mixing channel directs air from a radially outer end of the mixing channel to a radially inner end of the mixing channel, the method of calibrating the swirler including: determining a flow characteristic of the swirler, calculating the difference between the determined flow characteristic of the swirler and a predetermined flow characteristic of the swirler, and dependent on the difference, applying a calibration to the swirler to alter its flow characteristic, the calibration having a known influence on the flow characteristic such that the altered flow characteristic is within an acceptable tolerance of the predetermined flow characteristic.

    Abstract: A combustor assembly of a gas turbine engine having a trapped vortex feature to reduce emissions where the trapped vortex is formed using ammonia injected into an annular cavity located in a wall surrounding a combustion chamber of the combustor assembly. The annular cavity, and therefore the trapped vortex, is positioned such that when the combustion occurs within the combustion chamber the position of the annular cavity, and therefore of the trapped vortex, is downstream of a flame front. The emissions resulting from combustion travel through the combustion chamber and pass by the annular cavity before exiting the combustion chamber. The trapped vortex in the combustion chamber supplies NH2 radicals, resulting from the ammonia of the trapped vortex, to the passing by emissions and converts NOx and/or N2O in the emissions to non-polluting products, mainly water and nitrogen.

    Abstract: A controller for a gas turbine is arranged to supply a load L. The gas turbine includes a fuel supply arranged to supply fuel at a fuel flow rate FF to a combustor, wherein the fuel supply includes a first fuel supply and a second fuel supply. The controller is arranged to determine one or more ratios R of one or more combustor operating parameters COP respectively at the load L to respective reference combustor operating parameters COPR at a reference load LR. The controller is further arranged to control a proportion P of the fuel flow rate FF supplied via the first fuel supply based, at least in part, on the determined one or more ratios R. A gas turbine with the controller and a method controls the gas turbine.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an engine vibration of a gas turbine engine where engine vibration of the gas turbine engine is measured. The measured engine vibration is compared with a threshold value of a nominal engine vibration. A fuel supply parameter of a fuel supply to a combustion chamber of the gas turbine engine is controlled for controlling combustion dynamics of a combustion flame within the combustion chamber. The engine vibration of the gas turbine engine is indicative of the combustion dynamics of the combustion flame, so that the fuel supply is adjusted for controlling the combustion dynamics if the measured engine vibration exceeds the threshold value of the nominal engine vibration.
