The investigation described in this Doctoral Dissertation is aimed at: (1) the influence of pressure on the combustion efficiency and the pollutant emission or low calorific value (LCV) fuel gas turbine combustors under operating conditions representatives for and at a scale directly relevant to industrial practice and (2) the validation of models describing turbulent steady state combustion of these fuels. The latter requirement, made possible by the availability of a 1.5 MW pressurized gasification test rig, included the necessity to use probe based measurements of gas temperatures and species concentration. This implicates the exclusion of non-intrusive measurement techniques.
