Investigation of flame behavior and dynamics prior to lean blowout in a combustor with varying mixedness of reactants for the early detection of lean blowout

Lean blowout is one of the major challenges faced when the gas turbine combustors are operated with lean fuel–air mixture to meet the emission norm. We experimentally study the flame behavior and the dynamics of heat release rate fluctuations during a transition to lean blowout. The study comprising...
