Summary:

A test program was conducted to study the effects of non-standard aviation fuels on a typical small gas turbine combustor, and to evaluate the effectiveness of design changes intended to counter the effects of these fuels. This study was a follow on to an earlier analytical study to predict the fuel effects and generate the design modifications evaluated in this program. The T700/CT7 engine family was chosen for both studies as being representative of the class of aircraft power plants desired for this study. Fuel properties, as specified by NASA, are characterized by low hydrogen content and high aromatics levels. No. 2 diesel fuel was also evaluated in this program. One combustor of the three clearly demonstrated the best smoke and metal temperature characteristics. It was also easiest to manufacture and incorporate into a production design. GE with NASA's concurrence selected and subjected this combustor to a final component test program.
