One of the most important performance requirements and most difficult to achieve is a uniform distribution of temperature in the exhaust gases of the gas turbine combustor. This is expected to be impaired by the trend of using heavier fuel oils. Measurements in a developed experimental combustor at various air pressures, inlet temperatures, air fuel ratios and fuel blends showed the importance of these operating parameters in optimizing the combustor design.
