Investigation of a Premixed Gas Turbine Combustor Central Body Burner Using OH Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence at Elevated Pressures
Experiments were performed on the central body rich-pilotlean (RPL) burner of a Siemens Industrial Turbomachinary 4th generation DLE combustor to observe the combustion changes that may occur when using fuels other than natural gas. Measurements were taken of temperatures at multiple points along the RPL body while hydroxyl (OH) radical distribution extending from the dump plane of the burner was
