    The document discusses different types of combustors used in gas turbine engines. There are three main types: annular, can, and cannular combustors. Annular combustors are used in modern engines, while can or tubular combustors were used in older engine designs. The combustor must produce stable, hot gases for the turbine while avoiding flame-out. It must also provide a uniform temperature profile. Key components include the air and fuel inlets, and mechanisms like fuel injectors and flame holders are used to stabilize combustion. Factors like combustion intensity, residence time, and stability limits must be considered in the combustor design.

    Combustors Used in old engines

    • Primary Combustors
    There are three types of combustors
    a) Annular b) Can c) Cannular
    Can or tubular

    Used in Modern Engines

    Annular

    • Air Flow

    To turbine

    5-10 m/s
    CC : Mechanism and parameters
    • Basic Physics and Engineering
    • CC is unique for particular engine.
    • Heat addition is like Brayton Cycle.
    • High Combustion Intensity. Less time, less space to burn the
    fuel is major challenge as length is restricted in aero engines.
    • Should be able to produce stable, hot gases to turbines. CC
    also called stabilizer.
    • Blown out (Extinguishing) should not happen.
    • Turbine temperature is decided by materials, cooling
    conditions, speed.
    • Uniform temperature profile is needed in turbine. CC has to do
    this important job.
