NOx Emissions Characteristics and Correlation Equations of Two P and W’s Axially Staged Sector Combustors Developed Under NASA Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Project

Abstract: Two P&W (Pratt & Whitney)’s axially staged sector combustors have been developed under NASA’s Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project. One combustor was developed under ERA Phase I, and the other was developed under ERA Phase II. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions characteristics and correlation equations for these two sector combustors are reported in this article. The Phase I design was to optimize the NOx emissions reduction potential, while the Phase II design was more practical a…
