Why Is Arthur H. Lefebvre Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Arthur Henry Lefebvre was a British scientist and an innovative leader in the science and engineering of fuel sprays and combustion in gas turbines. Career During his career he developed several innovative atomizers, including prefilming and effervescent designs for aircraft engines. Improvements in atomization greatly reduced the emissions of soot and were instrumental in increasing the reliability of the combustor that was critical to improve the engine robustness. Lefebvre was a pioneer in the development of the jet engine, and arguably one who contributed more as a researcher, designer and educator than any other, except the original inventors – Sir Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain. He shared his expertise with an annual week-long gas turbine combustion short course from 1962 to 2003.
