The invention relates to a turbine engine combustion module (10), in particular for an aircraft turbine engine, designed to carry out constant-volume combustion, comprising: at least two combustion chambers (12A, 12B) arranged about an axis, each chamber (12A, 12B, 12C) comprising a compressed gas intake port (16) and a burnt gas exhaust port (18); and an ignition means that triggers combustion in the combustion chambers (12A, 12B, 12C). The module (10) comprises at least one duct (80) which establishes a communication between a first combustion chamber (12A) and at least one second combustion chamber (12B) in order to inject burnt gases from the first combustion chamber (12A) into the second combustion chamber (12B) so as to trigger combustion in the second combustion chamber (12B).

A supersonic combustor containing an injector module, a combustor core and an outer shell. The injector module houses both fuel and oxidizer nozzles. The combustor core contains grooves within which the combustion process takes place. The outer shell holds both the injector module and the combustor core and allows for other cooling, mounting and structural mechanisms required for operation.

The present disclosure provides methods for controlling volumetric flows of streams into a combustor, and particularly in a combustor utilized in a power production method. A controller can be used to receive a variety of inputs, carry out calculations, and output one or more signals that adjust one or more parameters of one or more of the streams entering the combustor. Such adjustments can be effective to normalize a volumetric flow rate between the combustor and a turbine immediately downstream from the combustor without requiring direct measurement of the volumetric flow rate between the combustor and the turbine immediately downstream from the combustor.

A multipoint fuel injection system comprises an injection system segment including a circumferentially extending outer support defining a fuel manifold with a plurality of manifold passages extending circumferentially therethrough. A first connector is included at a first circumferential end of the outer support and a second connector is included at a second circumferential end of the outer support opposite the first circumferential end. The first and second connectors are each configured to connect each manifold passage with a manifold passages of a respective outer support of a circumferentially adjacent injection system segment. The system includes a circumferentially extending inner support and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart feed arms extending radially between the inner support and the outer support. A plurality of outlet openings extend in an axial direction from each feed arm for feeding respective injection nozzles.

Disclosed is a fuel mixed injection method for a gas turbine. The method includes the following steps: arranging a secondary fuel injection nozzle and a secondary air injection nozzle on a secondary combustion section, wherein the secondary fuel injection nozzles is closer to a main combustion section than the secondary air injection nozzle; and injecting secondary fuel and secondary primary air in sequence through the secondary fuel injection nozzle and the secondary air injection nozzle, respectively, thus enabling the secondary fuel to spontaneously combust in a mainstream high-temperature flue gas atmosphere to form a transverse jet flame and increase the flame lift-off height.

A turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. The combustion section can include a combustor liner, a dome assembly coupled to the combustor liner, a fuel nozzle fluidly coupled to the dome assembly, a combustion chamber fluidly coupled to the fuel nozzle, and at least one set of dilution openings located in the dome assembly or combustor liner that fluidly couple to the combustion chamber. A swirler can define at least one passage extending between at least one annular entrance and at least one annular exit, wherein the at least one annular entrance is fluidly coupled to the compressor section. A variable area device is movable relative to the at least one set of dilution openings or at least a portion of the swirler.

A burner comprises: at least one mixing tube extending inside a fuel plenum and having an interior configured to be supplied with an air; and a plurality of fuel injection holes for injecting a fuel supplied to the fuel plenum into the interior of the at least one mixing tube. When the at least one mixing tube is viewed in an axial direction of the mixing tube, a central axis of each of the plurality of fuel injection holes is oblique in a same direction with respect to a circumferential direction of the mixing tube, to a radial direction of the mixing tube.

The systems and methods described herein relate to a dome of a gas turbine assembly configured to suppress pressure pulsations. The systems and methods provide a dome having an aperture configured to surround an injector assembly of a combustor. The dome having a front panel extending radially from the aperture. The systems and methods couple a first cavity to the front panel. The first cavity includes a series of ducts. A first duct of the series of ducts is configured to receive airflow into the first cavity from a compressor and a second set of ducts of the series of ducts and a third duct of the series of ducts are configured to direct airflow to the combustor from the first cavity, wherein the third duct has a larger diameter than the second set of ducts.
