Abstract
Planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) was employed in a three sector, low NOx double annular combustor in order to characterise the combusting fuel spray. Naphthalene was employed as a fluorescent agent in odourless kerosene in order to determine the behavior of the light fractions in the fuel vapour, and the light to medium fractions in the fuel spray, while 2,5 di-phenyl oxizol (ppo) was employed to determine the behavior of the heavy fractions in the fuel spray. Counter-swirl air blast atomizing fuel injectors employing a nominal fuel spray included cone angle of 90 deg were employed to inject the kerosene fuel into the double annular combustor. Radial and axial measurements were performed on the combusting spray. Spatial variations in fuel spray placement were observed, together with radial anisotropy.
