In the Modern scenario, the naturally available resources for power generation are being depleted at an alarming rate; firstly due to wastage of power at consumer end, secondly due to inefficiency of various power system components. A Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) integrates two cycles- Brayton cycle (Gas Turbine) and Rankine cycle (Steam Turbine) with the objective of increasing overall pl...

This paper demonstrates cross-frequency coupling between pressure, heat release rate, fuel spray and velocity oscillations in a model aeronautical gas turbine combustor operating at pressure of approximately 10 atm. Heat rate was characterized by kHz chemiluminescence (CL) imaging several species. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry laser Mie scattering from the droplets were used to measur...

An introductory overview of the micro and small-scale devices for the combustion in micro-gas turbines is presented at the beginning of this paper in order to identify and select the main topics to be discussed in the following. The wide variety of combustion systems for this particular application, together with the different strategies and design concepts that are proposes for setting up effi...
