A combustor is a component or area of a gas turbine, ramjet, or scramjet engine where combustion takes place. It is also known as a burner, burner can...

the combustor raises the air temperature by burning fuel. This takes place with a small pressure loss. The air velocity entering the combustor has to...

gas in addition to the vitiated air from the PFB combustor. This mixture is burned in a topping combustor to provide higher inlet temperatures for greater...

(GE) of the United States. GE produces the high-pressure compressor, combustor, and high-pressure turbine, Safran manufactures the fan, gearbox, exhaust...

engine management developments. William C. Pfefferle developed a catalytic combustor for gas turbines in the early 1970s, allowing combustion without significant...

third-generation, twin-annular pre-swirl (TAPS) combustor instead of the previous dual annular combustor. Able to endure hotter temperatures, ceramic matrix...

mixed with the compressed air and burns in the combustor. The combustion products leave the combustor and expand through the turbine where power is extracted...

combustor, can annular combustors have discrete combustion zones contained in separate liners with their own fuel injectors. Unlike the can combustor...

to combust, the turboramjet combustor may use hydrogen and oxygen, carried on the aircraft, as its fuel for the combustor. The air compressed by the compressor...

and combat. The afterburning process injects additional fuel into a combustor in the jet pipe behind (i.e., "after") the turbine, "reheating" the exhaust...
