dc.description.abstract | Hydrogen micromix combustion is a promising technology for gas turbines, introducing rapid, miniaturized air-fuel mixing, significantly reducing combustion zone length and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. This review evaluates the state-of-the-art hydrogen micromix combustion technologies, focusing on injector performance, flashback characteristics, and NOx reduction strategies. Injector designs are categorized based on premixing and flame stabilization techniques. While stationary gas turbines approach Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9, aviation applications remain below TRL 4. This review identifies key design principles and predictive modelling challenges and presents a development roadmap for advancing hydrogen micromix combustion technology for aviation from TRL 4 to TRL 9 by 2040. | |
