    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: A pilot cone for use in a burner arrangement having a pilot burner includes a casing which widens downstream along a burner axis and has a plurality of cooling air passages passing through it; an inner wall which extends upstream starting from the upstream end of the casing; an annular gap which runs along the inner wall on the radially outer side; and a plurality of cooling air openings which establish a connection between the annular gap and the cooling air passages. Another wall extends upstream at a distance from the inner wall starting from the casing and delimits the annular gap on the radially outer side, the inner wall having a plurality of holes.

    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.
