Fuel atomization in gas turbines: a review of novel technology

The atomization of fuel is crucial in the combustion and emission of a gas turbine, and the fuel atomization is continuous without any cycles or strokes. However, to achieve a desired amount of combustion during this continuous process, fuel must be added and mixed with the high-pressure air exiting...
