- Description
- THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) AWARDED UNDER THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ANDREINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 A TASK ORDER FOR ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES UNDER THEPREVIOUSLY AWARDED, COMPETITIVE 8(a) CONTRACT NNC06BA07B WITH ASRC AEROSPACE CORPORATION.AMERICAN RECOVERY ANDREINVESTMENT ACT funds for NASAs Fundamental Aero Program are beingutilized to help design and fabricate combustor rig improvements to enable testing ofadvanced low nitrogen oxide (NOx) injector designs. The production of greenhouse gasemissions generated by aircraft exhaust, emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogenoxide (NOX) and water vapor will increase in proportion within the air transportationindustry. As a result, NASAs Fundamental Aero Program has established goals to reducefuel burn in future aircraft, reduced fuel burn correlates to reduced CO2 and NOXemissions. This task will help design combustor rig improvementsthat will enable jet engine manufacturers to test low emission jet engine combustors. Methods to test alternative fuel technologies (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch) need to bedeveloped for aircraft applications to reduce emissions, improve performance, anddecrease the nation's dependence on oil. The Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rig located atthe NASA Glenn Research Center is a high-pressure, high-temperature combustion rig thatsimulates combustor inlet test conditions. The Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rig isequipped to measure both gas emissions and perform nonintrusive laser diagnostic emissiontesting in a high pressure high temperature environment that mimics the conditions ofhigh pressure ratio jet engine combustor section. This unique combustion test rig allowsresearchers and engine companies to test sector combustors that will be used in futureaircraft engines.NASA/GRC has issued a task order under existing contract NNC06BA07B for engineeringservices to support the design efforts to upgrade the Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rigsfuel subsystem to enable testing of alternate fuels to both the Sector Rig and theFlametube test stands. Upgrades will increase the Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rigstesting capabilities to enable testing of jet engine combustors using both jet enginefuels and alternate fuels, separately or together. THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. A CPAF order is appropriate for this procurement because of the uncertain nature of theresearch/testing support activities required cannot be estimated to the level of accuracynecessary to allow the use of a fixed-priced contractual vehicle.
