A practical active control system for the mitigation of combustion instability has been designed and demonstrated in a lean, premixed, single-nozzle combustor at realistic engine operating conditions. A full-scale engine fuel nozzle was modified to incorporate a simple fuel flow actuator. Results indicate that the system was capable of reducing pressure fluctuations by 82 percent (15 dB or 5.6×) while maintaining or reducing NOx and CO emissions levels.

A system for the active control of combustion instabilities in liquid-fueled, lean, premixed combustors was demonstrated in a three-nozzle sector combustor, using full-scale engine hardware. Modulation of a portion of the premixed fuel flow led to a reduction of 6.5 dB (2.1X) in the amplitude of the dominant instability mode. Combustor emissions were not adversely affected by the control.

The transformation of a spherical concave mirror into a parabolic one with the help of elastic bending deformations is considered. The magnitude and direction of the load, which creates the necessary bend for transforming the mirror with the given parameters, are determined. Uneven material removal during machining is replaced by the bend of an optically accurate spherical surface already obtained. The application of the results to the creation of an active control system for the shaping of the surface of a paraboloid of rotation is considered. The proposed finishing technology is aimed at solving the problem of guaranteed obtaining optically accurate surface of a parabolic mirror.
