I have to design and construct an fuel system in one of my projects.
In this project, I am designing fuel system which uses liquid fuel.
The fuel is meant to be burnt in a gas turbine engine - thus the fuel will be injected in atomized form inside the combustion chamber.
___________
There is possibility of pressure drop inside the combustion chamber.
Constant fuel flow has to be maintained to the combustion chamber, and the fuel flow will be controlled with a single valve/tap.Problem/Question
Since pressures can drop in the chamber, the fuel flow can increase on its own.
[itex]\overbrace{}^{}m[/itex]=Cd * A [itex]\sqrt{}z [itex]\rho[/itex] [itex]\Delta[/itex]p[/itex]
Thus to maintain constant fuel flow, a pressure regulator has to be used which maintains constant pressure to maintain constant fuel flow rate. (incase there is a drop in pressure in the combustion chamber or increase in fuel tank or vice versa)
I do not understand how to use a pressure regulator? and where to place it...
and other information associated with the pressure regulator will be very helpful.
