Abstract:
1. A facility for testing a material, comprising: a test section housing defining a first flow path and a second flow path, each flow path having upstream and downstream ends, respectively; a combustor section defining a combustion chamber in fluid communication with the upstream end of the second flow path and the downstream end of the first flow path; at least one fuel injector disposed proximate the downstream end of the first flow path and proximate the upstream end second flow path; a conduit enclosing a portion of the first flow path for accommodation therethrough of a first fluid flow having a first temperature; a sleeve concentric about the conduit to define an annular portion of the second flow path for accommodation therethrough of a second fluid flow having a temperature higher than the first temperature; and a test material disposed on the conduit in contact with the annular portion.
