New technologies in combustion chambers of aircraft turbine engines

Abstract

The paper presents the projected emissions of combustion components over the next few years. The basic tasks that a modern combustion chamber must fulfill were defined. The process of hydrocarbon combustion in the theoretical and actual cases was analyzed. The assessment evaluates the effect of engine operating parameters such as rotational speed, thrust, temperature downstream the compressor and combustion on the formation of toxic combustion components. The paper also presents alternative fuels. One of the most promising aspects related to the matter is the use of sustainable aviation fuels - SAF. Alternative methods of powering aircraft engines, such as hydrogen or nuclear propulsion, were presented. An analysis on the latest combustion chamber design systems that allow to reduce the amount of exhaust gasses emitted into the atmosphere was conducted.
