primary combustion
1primary combustion — That immediately surrounding the burning fuel, using only a fraction of total airflow (i.e., primary). The rest of the airflow is used for dilution and cooling …
2primary air — That portion of the compressor output air used for the actual combustion of fuel. It is that portion of airflow flowing through the engine core. See also primary combustion …
3primary holes — Those through which primary air enters a gas turbine engine. See primary combustion …
4Combustion Engineering — (C E) was an American engineering firm and leading firm in the development of power systems in the United States with approximately 30,000 employees in about a dozen states at its peak. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, C E owned over two… …
5primary compression — A term that is used in two stroke engines. Primary compression takes place in the crankcase and is then pushed up into the combustion chamber where secondary compression takes place as the piston squeezes the mixture. If the crankcase seals are… …
6Primary Air — The air that is supplied to the combustion chamber of a furnace …
7primary air — noun : air admitted to the fuel stream or area ahead of the combustion zone in a burner or furnace …
8Oxy-fuel combustion process — Oxyfuel CCS power plant operation Oxy fuel combustion is the process of burning a fuel using pure oxygen instead of air as the primary oxidant. Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame… …
9Chemical looping combustion — (CLC) typically employs a dual fluidized bed system (circulating fluidized bed process) where a metal oxide is employed as a bed material providing the oxygen for combustion in the fuel reactor. The reduced metal is then transferred to the second …
10Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
