MOTIVATION

• PRESENT AND PAST COMBUSTOR PROBLEMS

  • MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS AND NOISE (CYCLIC FATIGUE, INSTABILITY)
  • INCREASED HEAT TRANSFER
  • REDUCED PERFORMANCE (EFFICIENCY, POLLUTANTS, HOT STREAKS)

• EMERGING REGULATIONS

• FUTURE COMBUSTOR REQUIREMENTS

  • SMALLER, LIGHTER COMBUSTORS
  • HIGHER PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE OPERATION
  • REDUCED EMISSION AND SIGNATURE TECHNOLOGY
  • REDUCED COST (DEVELOPMENT & MANUFACTURING)
