"Method Of Controlling A Fuel Flow To A Turbomachine"

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention applies a physics based approach to determine the mass flowrate of the fuel required for a robust ignition mode. This approach uses a closed-loop controls methodology (200,300). Here, a turbine control system (190) receives a plurality of operating data. The turbine control system (190) utilizes at least one algorithm, which applies an energy balance to the received operating data. The operating data may include, but is not limited to, airflow data, data from the fuel system (160), data related to the shaft work, exhaust data, and data related to the heat loss. This energy balance is used to determine the required mass flow rate.
