## Description

The work is to undertaken in accordance with the SBRI application 59574-444188 part 8 submitted to and held by Innovate UK for the Fuels and Lubricants programme\. Investigate the interactions of conventional and synthetic fuel composition on combustion vibration, acoustic signature and consequent hot-end stress/life\. The key deliverables of the project are as follows: 1\. Investigate the interactions of vibration, combustion instability, and noise when burning fuels at a range of equivalence ratios on a small combustor and single can RR spey combustor\. 2\. Investigate the interaction of vibration, combustion instability, noise and emissions when burning alternative and baseline fuels at a range of equivalence ratios on a small gas turbine \(APU\) platform 3\.Develop models quantifying the effect of alternative fuel composition on combustor vibration, noise and combustion instability\.
