摘要: An aircraft has first and second fuel sources containing fuels with different characteristics, and one or more gas turbine engines powered by the fuels and each having a staged combustion system having pilot and main fuel injectors and being operable in pilot-only and pilot-and-main ranges of operation. The gas turbine engines each have a fuel delivery regulator arranged to control fuel delivery to the pilot and main fuel injectors. The method includes: obtaining a proposed mission description; obtaining nvPM impact parameters for the gas turbine engines, the impact parameters being associated with each operating condition of the proposed mission; calculating an optimised set of one or more fuel characteristics for each flight condition of the proposed flight defined in the flight description based on the nvPM impact parameters; and determining a fuel allocation based on the optimised set of one or more fuel characteristics.

摘要: Provided is a burner of double tube structure including an outer tube and an inner tube. The inner tube includes a tip-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a base-side support portion fixed on the outer tube, a main body portion supported by the tip-side support portion, bellows interposed between the main body portion and the base-side support portion, and a bulkhead member attached at a position between the tip-side support portion and the base-side support portion. Between an outer peripheral surface of the bulkhead member and an inner peripheral surface of the outer tube, a second gap smaller than a first gap between an outermost peripheral surface of the bellows and the inner peripheral surface of the outer tube is interposed.

摘要: A multiphase fuel injector has an injector body with a fuel inlet at a first end and a fuel outlet at a second end opposite the first end. A primary circuit disposed proximate the fuel inlet extends into a central portion of the injector body. The primary circuit is configured to receive a first flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into a spin chamber in the injector body downstream from the fuel inlet. The primary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the first flow of pressurized fuel. A secondary circuit is located in the injector body radially outward from the primary circuit. The secondary circuit is configured to receive a second flow of pressurized fuel from the fuel inlet that discharges into the fuel outlet. The secondary circuit is configured to impart a swirling action to the second flow of pressurized fuel.

摘要: A pilot arrangement for a nozzle of a gas turbine, includes a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis for conducting fuel, the narrowest flow cross section of which is larger than a flow cross section of a pilot fuel nozzle, and the pilot fuel nozzle, which adjoins the cavity downstream and includes a pilot line and a pilot fuel outlet arranged downstream of the pilot line, the narrowest flow cross section of which is smaller than that of the cavity. A compact configuration is achieved in that the cavity is arranged in a central body arranged on the longitudinal axis, a swirling element is arranged in a circumferential manner around the central body, wherein the central body and the swirling element form a swirling arrangement, and the swirling element, the central body and the pilot fuel nozzle are configured as a continuous, integral component.

摘要: A mixing assembly includes a pilot mixer and a main mixer. The main mixer includes a main housing, a fuel manifold positioned between a pilot housing and the main housing, a mixer foot extending outward from a forward end of the main housing, and a main swirler body including a plurality of vanes. The main swirler body surrounds the main housing and defines an annular mixing channel between the main housing and the main swirler body, and being coupled to the mixer foot. An annular main fuel ring extends axially aft from the mixer foot into the annular mixing channel. The mixer foot extends farther from the main housing than the main fuel ring. At least one of the mixer foot or the main fuel ring includes a plurality of fuel injection ports positioned to discharge fuel into a central portion of the annular mixing channel.

摘要: A mixer for blending fuel and air in a combustor of a turbine engine. The mixer includes a central body having a central passageway and a central axis. The mixer includes a plurality of tubes positioned radially around the central axis and circumferentially around a periphery of the mixer. Each of the tubes of the mixer includes opposed openings and a tangential opening. Each of the tubes of the mixer includes a cylindrical interior mixing passage configured to receive air flow from the opposed openings and the tangential opening and a fuel flow. The opposed openings are configured to spread the fuel flow laterally and the tangential opening is configured to spread the fuel flow tangentially.
