An acoustically dampened gas turbine engine (10) having a gas turbine engine combustor (12) with an acoustic damping resonator system (14) is disclosed. The acoustic damping resonator system (14) may be formed from one or more resonators (16) formed from a resonator housing (18) positioned within the gas turbine engine combustor (12) at an outer housing (20) forming a combustor basket (22) and extending circumferentially within the combustor (12).

Disclosed is a heat storage type waste gas purification apparatus which comprises: a combustion chamber configured to combust and decompose a component contained in waste gas; a plurality of heat storage chambers each having one end communicating with the combustion chamber and each comprising a heat storage body; a plurality of supply inlets each equipped with an on-off valve and each provided at the other end of a respective one of the heat storage chambers to selectively supply waste gas thereto; a plurality of discharge outlets each equipped with an on-off valve and each provided at the other end of a respective one of the heat storage chambers to selectively discharge treated waste gas therefrom; a discharge passage connected to the discharge outlets to discharge the treated waste gas to an outside of the apparatus therethrough; a plurality of bypass passages each connecting between the combustion chamber and the discharge passage, wherein each of the bypass passages is connected to the combustion chamber at a position directly above a respective one of the heat storage chambers, and equipped with an on-off valve; and a control section operable, when a temperature of one of the heat storage chambers becomes equal to or greater than a given value, to open one or more of the on-off valves of the bypass passages so as to discharge a part of waste gas in the combustion chamber via the opened one or more bypass passages.

A system for attenuating acoustic energy in machines is provided. The system may include an inner tube disposed about a central axis, an outer tube disposed about the inner tube and the central axis, and a middle tube disposed about the central axis and between the inner tube and the outer tube. The system may also include a first annular ring extending radially from the outer tube and configured to couple the outer tube to the middle tube. The system may further include a second annular ring extending radially from the inner tube and configured to couple the inner tube to the outer tube, such that an acoustic resonator may be formed by the first annular ring, the second annular ring, a portion of the inner tube, a portion of the outer tube, and a portion of the middle tube.

A vented campfire tarp is provided that includes a base portion and a plurality of vents formed in the base portion, wherein each vent allows for air, smoke, and carbon dioxide to pass through the vent from one side of the base portion to the other. The vented campfire tarp also includes securing devices to couple the base portion to a ground surface over a campfire. In use, the vented campfire tarp covers a campfire and controls a burn rate of wood of the campfire in response to controlling airflow through the plurality of vents of the vented campfire tarp.

In a damping device according to the present invention, a damping device 63 is mounted on a bypass pipe 61 that supplies an amount of high-pressure air to a combustor transition piece 33. The damping device 63 includes a fluid introducing unit 71 that forms a fluid introduction space B by covering an outer peripheral portion of the bypass pipe 61, a plurality of acoustic boxes 73a and 73b that forms resonance spaces Da and Db with the base portions connected to the fluid introducing unit 71 and the end portions extending along the outer peripheral portion of the bypass pipe 61 in the circumferential direction, and partition plates 74a and 74b that form resonance ducts Ea and Eb of a predetermined length by partitioning the resonance spaces Da and Db.

An acoustically dampened gas turbine engine (10) having a gas turbine engine combustor (12) with an acoustic damping resonator system is disclosed. The acoustic damping resonator system (14) may be formed from one or more resonators (16) formed from a resonator housing (18) positioned within the gas turbine engine combustor (12) at an outer housing (20) forming a combustor basket (22) and extending circumferentially within the combustor (12).

The invention relates to a heat radiation chamber for boilers, consisting of parallel bars which are equidistant from each other, attached to two rings and supported on legs. Said chamber is arranged inside the combustion chamber of boilers. When combustion occurs, the heating of the bars improves the combustion and, as hot air passes between them, the temperature increases.
