The threshold combustion performance of different fuel formulations under simulated altitude relight conditions were investigated in the altitude relight test facility located at the Rolls-Royce plc. Strategic Research Centre in Derby, UK. The combustor employed was a twin-sector representation of an RQL gas turbine combustor. Eight fuels including conventional crude-derived Jet A-1 kerosene, synthetic paraffinic kerosenes (SPKs), linear paraffinic solvents, aromatic solvents and pure compounds were tested. The combustor was operated at sub-atmospheric air pressure of 41 kPa and air temperature of 265 K. The temperature of all fuels was regulated to 288 K. The combustor operating conditions corresponded to a low stratospheric flight altitude near 9 kilometres. The experimental work at the Rolls-Royce (RR) test-rig consisted of classical relight envelope ignition and extinction tests, and ancillary optical measurements: Simultaneous high-speed imaging of the OH* chemiluminescence and of the soot luminosity was used to visualize both the transient combustion phenomena and the combustion behaviour of the steady burning flames. Flame luminosity spectra were also simultaneously recorded with a spectrometer to obtain information about the different combustion intermediates and about the thermal soot radiation curve. This paper presents first results from the analysis of the weak extinction measurements. Further detailed test fuel results are the subject of a separate complementary paper [1]. It was found in general that the determined weak extinction parameters were not strongly dependent on the fuels investigated, however at the leading edge of the OH* chemiluminescence intensity development in the pre-flame region fuel-related differences were observed.

RAP (Rivelazione Acustica di Particelle) is a small cylindrical aluminum bar (l = 500 mm , d = 181.7 mm ) placed at the DAΦNE Beam Test Facility, where it is hit by a 510 MeV electron beam, coming from the DAΦNE Linac. Aim of the experiment is to measure the mechanical vibrations of the bar caused by the interaction with the beam. On June, 2004 RAP successfully collected data for the first time at cryogenic temperature. Several runs at different temperatures (4.5, 70 and 273 K) have been performed and a number of shots in normal-conducting state of the bar were detected. The preliminary results are in good agreement with the Thermo-Acoustic Model. In the next months the mounting of a dilution refrigerator and the data taking of the bar in the superconducting state (T = 100 mK ) have been planned.

Gasified biomass has become an attractive fuel source for the production of electricity for various processes due to its potential to reduce the net CO2 emission. The overall aim is to combine biomass as a fuel source with high temperature catalytic combustion in order to lower emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. This paper presents the design of a pressurized test facility for testing various catalytic materials under varying operating conditions and arrangements in the combustor. Instrumentation of the rig is described. Catalyst development and preparations are being described as well as the first results from the pilot-scale test facility. Different catalyst configurations and compositions have been tested. It was shown that a Pd / LaAl11O18 catalyst is able to ignite the synthetic gasified biomass and that high conversion rates of H2 can be achieved with this type of catalyst. By applying a layer of barium stabilized alumina, thermal protection of the catalyst is achieved, hence limiting the maximum catalyst temperature.
