The work is a laboratory investigation of the effect of different liquids and liquid flow rates on the metal temperature of a gas turbine T vaporizer. Most of the experimentation was carried out using JP5. A limited number of runs using Diesel Fuel Marine and calibration runs using water provided additional data for different fluids. Conditions that approach local liquid depletion inside the vaporizer were identified by monitoring local overheating of the vaporizer metal. Because of apparatus limitations, testing was carried out only at vaporizer pressure and liquid flow rates approaching idle engine operation. An experimental correlation was developed allowing estimation of the mean vaporizer temperature as a function of input conditions and fluid properties.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
