Abstract:
In a method of combusting fuel in the combustion chamber (11) of a gas turbine engine, fuel and a first predetermined amount of air are injected into the combustion chamber to form a fuel-rich mixture, and a second predetermined amount of air is injected downstream, to mix with the mixture and form a lean fuel-air mixture. The combustion chamber (11) has a fuel injector (10) and inlets (17, 19) downstream thereof to allow the air to be injected.
Abstract:
A combustor 10 for a gas turbine engine is provided which includes a plurality of liner segments 12 and a support shell 14. The support shell 14 includes an interior 16 and an exterior 18 surface, a plurality of mounting holes 20, and a plurality of impingement coolant holes 22 extending through the support shell 14. Each liner segment 12 includes a panel 24 and a plurality of mounting studs 32. The panel 24 includes a face surface 34 and a back surface 36, and a plurality of normal or inclined coolant holes 38 extending therethrough. The back surface 36 of the panel 24 has a surface profile for improving the heat transfer properties of a liner segment without substantial increase in pressure drop across the combustor.
