Beschreibung:
An experimental investigation of cross stream injection and mixing has been conducted with application to a low NO(x) combustor for the HSCT. Mixing in a cylindrical chamber has been studied for transverse injection from slanted slot and round orifice injectors. Momentum ratio, density ratio, and injector geometry were the primary variables. Slanted slots of various size, aspect ratio, and number were studied. Quantitative measurement of injectant concentration distributions were obtained by planar digital imaging of the Mie-scattered light from an aerosol seed uniformly mixed with the injectant. The unmixedness, defined as the ratio of the rms concentration fluctuation to mean concentration in a plane perpendicular to the main flow direction, was found to be primarily a function of momentum ratio and injector spacing. An optimum spacing is indicated. Unmixedness is also a function of orifice size, or mass flow ratio, but the mass flow dependence can be accounted for by normalizing the unmixedness with its maximum theoretical value. The data indicate that density ratio greater than unity retards mixing. It was found that above a certain momentum flux ratio, mixing with slanted slot injectors was better than with round hole injectors.
