A stainless steel, rectangular center-dump, premixed-prevaporized combustor was used at the NASA Lewis Research Center to study flashback in controlled conditions simulating gas turbine combustor operations under steady-state and transient conditions. The combustor allowed visual access to the combustion area, and was operated at inlet air temperatures from 600 to 850 K, premixer wall temperatures from 450 to 900 K, and average premixer velocity from 40 to 80 ft/s. A parametric study revealed a slight decrease in the flashback equivalence ratio as the inlet air temperatures increased. It also indicated that the premixer wall temperature and premixer velocity are not governing parameters of flashback. It is suggested that flashback occurs through the premixer wall boundary layer flow reversal caused by combustion instability.
