The innovative use of the Fuel-Water emulsion in a small gas turbine for distributed energy generation is proposed. The FWE in this situation is considered as a nonhomogeneous mix of water and fuel, where water is a dispersed phase in the continuous fuel phase with an addition of surfactants. The Fuel-Water emulsion has a great mainly due to two mechanisms: temperature reduction due to heat absorption by the water phase and enhanced homogeneity of the fuel-air mixture due to micro-explosion of the superheated water phase inside the emulsion droplet. Proposed paper presents theoretical background on Fuel-Water emulsion combustion mechanism. Finally initial results of numerical research of fuel-water emulsion injection to miniature gas turbine are presented. Theoretical predictions of NOX pollutant emissions are compared with accuracy of the gas analyzer planned to be used during experimental research.
