Combustion characteristics of palm biodiesel/methyl esters (PME) and natural gas (NG) blend were examined using a model gas turbine swirl burner at vane angle (θ) 30°, 45° and 60°. A twin fluid air blast atomiser was utilised for atomising liquid fuel at air-to-liquid ratio (ALR) 2.50. Swirling flow...
