A fluidic, edgetone resonator sensor designed for gas temperature measurement at the compressor inlet of gas turbine engines was fabricated and evaluated on a burner rig at simulated engine conditions. Tested with the sensor was an air ejector used to lower the sensor back pressure to maintain proper sensor operation (choked flow at the discharge orifices) over the entire range of engine flight conditions. Steady-state performance of the sensor/ejector combination when compared with test thermocouples was acceptable in terms of both accuracy and repeatability. Transient response performance, however, was somewhat less than desired. Subsequent heat transfer analyses revealed the problem areas and identified several likely improvements.

Experience accumulated during the past 10 years in measuring turbojet-engine thrust in altitude facilities is summarized herein to indicate the currently best-known techniques applicable for obtaining in-flight thrust measurements. Problems that are encountered in obtaining accurate thrust measurements are illustrated, and the resultant techniques required for measurement of the net thrust of several typical types of turbojet installations are discussed. Techniques for obtaining a performance calibration of the basic engine while it is installed in an airplane are also indicated.

The rigorous treatment of combustion can be so complex that the kinetic variables, fluid turbulence factors, luminosity, and other factors cannot be defined well enough to find realistic solutions. Simplifying the processes, The Coen & Hamworthy Combustion Handbook provides practical guidance to help you make informed choices about fuels, burners, and associated combustion equipment—and to clearly understand the impacts of the many variables. Editors Stephen B. Londerville and Charles E. Baukal, Jr, top combustion experts from John Zink Hamworthy Combustion and the Coen Company, supply a thorough, state-of-the-art overview of boiler burners that covers Coen, Hamworthy, and Todd brand boiler burners. A Refresher in Fundamentals and State-of-the-Art Solutions for Combustion System Problems Roughly divided into two parts, the book first reviews combustion engineering fundamentals. It then uses a building-block approach to present specific computations and applications in industrial and utility combustion systems, including those for Transport and introduction of fuel and air to a system Safe monitoring of the combustion system Control of flows and operational parameters Design of a burner/combustion chamber to achieve performance levels for emissions and heat transfer Avoidance of excessive noise and vibration and the extension of equipment life under adverse conditions Coverage includes units, fluids, chemistry, and heat transfer, as well as atomization, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), noise, auxiliary support equipment, and the combustion of gaseous, liquid, and solid fuels. Significant attention is also given to the formation, reduction, and prediction of emissions from combustion systems. Each chapter builds from the simple to the more complex and contains a wealth of practical examples and full-color photographs and illustrations. Practical Computations and Applications for Industrial and Utility Combustion Systems A ready reference and refresher, this unique handbook is designed for anyone involved in combustion equipment selection, sizing, and emissions control. It will help you make calculations and decisions on design features, fuel choices, emissions, controls, burner selection, and burner/furnace combinations with more confidence.
