CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JET ENGINE COMBUSTOR PARAMETERS

Abstract

The thermo-gas dynamics of fuel combustion in the combustor of aircraft engines involves thermochemical activity and combustion dynamics, but also the geometric volume of the combustion process. Research around the topic provides clues regarding the fluctuations of the combustor’s performance depending on the fuels used and the kinetics of the gas mixture determined by the internal geometry of the combustor, clues that can help initiate numerical approaches regarding the optimization of the mixture and combustion temperatures. The article proposes an approach to the combustion process in jet engines both from the perspective of the fuels used and from the perspective of combustion thermo-gas dynamics through numerical analyzes designed to highlight the relevant parameters and performances of the jet engine combustor.
