DEVELOPMENT OF AERO GAS TURBINE ANNULAR COMBUSTOR : AN OVERVIEW Dr. C. BADARINATH Combustion group, GTRE, Bangalore-93 INTRODUCTION An overview of current practice and procedures for design, analysis and development of aero gas turbine combustors is prese nted here. The specific focus of this write up is design of an annular combustion system for an aircraft gas turbine application. However, most of the design rules will also apply to other applications. While can and annular combustor configurations are widely used in existing engines, the annular combustor is more prevalent in modern aircraft gas turbine engine designs, and an increasing number of industrial applications now use engines derived from aero gas turbines. A gas turbine combustor is a devi ce for raising the temperature of the incoming air stream from compressor by the addition and combustion of fuel. In serving this purpose, the combustor must satisfy many conflicting requirement. It must be capable of initiating ignition easily and must operate stably over a wide range of conditions. At all operating points, it must essentially provide for complete combustion of the fuel while minimizing the formation and emission of undesirable pollutants. To avoid damaging the turbine, sufficient mixi ng must be achieved in the combustor to obtain an acceptable exit gas temperature distribution. The combustor must also operate with as minimum a pressure loss as practical to maintain high overall performance. Finally, all of these functions must be performed in a configuration, which has minimum size, weight, and cost and which is sufficiently durable to achieve
