Combustion Effects of Coal Liquid and Other Synthetic Fuels in Gas Turbine Combustors: Part II — Full Scale Combustor and Corrosion Tests

Abstract

A. Cohn coal, SRC-I and SRC-II processes and three shale oil fuels have been conducted in Project Manager, Electric Power Research Institute, gas turbine type combustors. Emission measurements wre made of NO R , smoke, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons. Combustor wall temperature profiles were Palo Alto, Calif. Mem. ASME measured. The results are correlated with the fuel properties -percent nitrogen, hydrogen and aromaticity. This paper (Part II) describes the results of full scale combustor testing and of a long-term corrosion/deposition test. A companion paper by Cohn, et al. Part I discusses the fuels used in the program and the subscale combustor test results.
