HIGH TEMPERATURE PRESSURE SENSORS FOR COMBUSTION INSTABILITY MEASUREMENT In response to market and regulatory requirements, modern power turbine manufacturers have achieved remarkable decreases in emissions. In particular, NOx emissions have been dramatically reduced through new “lean burn” or “dry low NOx” designs. As is typically the case, these advances have come at a price. The low fuel-to-air ratios of these combustors can result in coupled acoustic and heat release pressure oscillations. Even though the magnitude of these oscillations may be low, even small fluctuations (less than 1...
