fossil fuel blends. High temperature air combustion technology, now used
worldwide for industrial furnaces, is further developed and presented for stationary
power applications. This green combustion turbine has shown several simultaneous
bene
field in the entire
combustion chamber (improved pattern factor), low noise and longer combustor
and turbine life to contribute to energy and environment sustainability.

ciency improvements. The spectroscopy and in-situ visualization topic is of com-
mon interest that spans from fundamental to applied technology for fossil and
biofuels and their blends. The theoretical aspects presented for droplet formation
and lean blow-out detection help to improve fuel distribution in the combustion
system for improved combustion control. It is expected that knowledge gained from
the selected efforts provided here will lead to improved and ef
cient use of fossil
and biofuels for reduced pollution and enhance ef
ciency of the combustion sys-
tem, therefore enhance the system performance. The state-of-the-art information
provided here is aimed to serve as a valuable tool for all involved in every aspect of
clean energy conversion while mitigating pollutants emitted to the environment.
