What’s New?• FAATC recently received a NexGen burner
manufactured from the plans on the fire safety websitehttp://www.fire.tc.faa.gov/pdf/materials/NexGenPlans.pdf
• This is the first replica that the FAATC has seen, and will be a good chance to determine the reproducibility of the burner from the FAA’s drawings

Fuel Nozzle• Burner came with a Monarch 5.5 gph 80° PL
nozzle, as specified in the drawings• When received, the nozzle was bench tested
for fuel flow rate as a function of fuel pressure and temperature

Comparison Tests• New NexGen burner was tested against an
FAATC-built NexGen burner– FAA NexGen had machined stator and turbulator
from Marlin Engineering

Summary of Testing
• The ME NexGen burner was built according to the specifications with only minor discrepancies
• The ME nozzle did not deliver the minimum 5.7 gph, so a spare FAA nozzle was installed
• The ME burner had an average flame temperature about 30°F higher than the FAA burner
• The ME burner had slightly quicker burnthrough times, on average about 12 seconds.
• The FAA nozzle and cone were installed on the ME burner, and brought the average flame temperature and burnthrough times closer to that of the FAA burner
• More work needs to be done to determine the exact cause of the nozzle and cone effects

Calibration Objectives
• Velocity measurements of a turbulent jet– Velocity profile at various Re, x– Velocity fluctuations (turbulence)
• Compare results with data published in literature
• Determine accuracy of measurements before proceeding with NexGen burner analysis
