## 8.1. Gas Turbine Combustors

Gas turbines are widely used in stationary and aircraft applications. The combustor receives the working fluid in a compressed state, burns fuel to increase its temperature, and passes it to the turbine. One of the key design goals for the combustor is to achieve a stable combustion process. Another key design goal is to minimize the emission of pollutants, particularly oxides of nitrogen.
