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

Combustion tests on over twelve types of coal derived liquid fuels from the EDS, H-coal, SRC-I and SRC-II processes and three shale oil fuels have been conducted in gas turbine type combustors. Emission measurements wre made of NO_x, smoke, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons. Combustor wall temperature profiles were 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.
