Catalytic combustion for the automotive gas turbine engineFuel-air premixing-prevaporizing systems and commercial catalysts were studied as part of a demonstration of a low emissions combustor for an automotive gas turbine engine. A fuel preparation system which would supply a fuel-air mixture which was uniform to within + or - 10 percent of the mean fuel-air ratio, with 90 percent fuel vaporization and with no autoignition is described. The catalytic reactor was required to produce emissions which were low enough to meet the most stringent proposed U.S. automotive standards. The overall pressure drop for both systems was to be less than 3 percent, with 1 percent allowed in the fuel-air preparation system and the remainder in the catalytic reactor.
