Alternative low carbon fuel blends are a promising way toward clean energy transition in the transportation and power generation sectors. In this work, the objective was to study the combustion characteristics of one such low carbon fuel blend (premixed Ammonia, Methane, and Air) in a swirl stabilized gas turbine can combustor under varying percentage of pilot fuel flow (=8-10% of the main fuel flowrate) under atmospheric pressure conditions. Pure Methane was used as the pilot flame which helped in the ignition and stabilization of the main flame and was kept on throughout the experiment. Different volume percentage of Ammonia and Methane blends was analyzed (starting from 10% to 50% Ammonia in the main fuel blend and the rest being Methane) at Reynolds number of the incoming air 50,000, and at equivalence ratio = 0.6 and 0.7. Characteristics such as combustor liner wall heat load and flame stability were studied using the Infrared Thermography technique and High-Speed flame imaging, respectively. In addition, both carbon and NOx emission trends were estimated for selected cases using the convergecfd software under steady-state conditions incorporating the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) re-normalization group (RNG) k and SAGE modeling techniques. Among all cases, wall heat load was observed to be the least for the 50% Ammonia-50% Methane case, and for cases under reduced pilot percentage. Also, under reduced pilot percentage, flames were mostly unstable wherein the manifestation of instabilities at equivalence ratio = 0.6 and 0.7 was markedly different from one another.
