An investigation of residual fuel oil ash deposit formation and removal in cooled gas turbine nozzles

Results are reported from a series of experiments simulating the combustion and expansion processes of a heavy-duty combustion turbine engine burning a heavy residual fuel oil. The tests were carried out in a turbine simulator device, consisting of a combustion chamber and a turbine first-stage nozz...
