Flame Transfer Function Measurements In A Multi-Element Combustor With Blends of Natural Gas And Hydrogen

Abstract Hydrogen is a key pathway for gas turbine decarbonization and optionality in sectors where energy demand is rising rapidly. Several demonstrations have shown that hydrogen blending is successful in currently operating gas turbines. However, due to significant differences...

Material Response of Environmental Barrier Coated Ceramic Matrix Composites In Combustion Environments

Abstract To improve combined-cycle efficiency, next generation gas turbines will have higher combustor outlet temperature and less cooling air for hot section components. High-temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), such as those formed with SiC fibers and a SiC matrix, can...
