This report deals with the design and development
of an airblast atomiser for application in the KAVERI
engine. Five atomisers of the chosen design were
fabricated and tested at ambient conditions to determine
the fuel spray SMD, patternation, cone angle
and atomiser flow number. The atomiser performance
parameters specified were achieved and hot tests
carried out in the 90° combustor sector. The combustor
pressure loss, exit temperature distribution, ignition
and stability limits were evaluate
