The present disclosure provides devices for guiding an element in a combustion chamber wall opening. Between the welds or brazes joining a bushing with a cup and the trajectory of the ring edge, an intermediate space is reserved in an internal annular groove for said welds or brazes to protrude into, so that said welds or brazes lie outside the trajectory of the ring edge.

A method for operating a rotating detonation engine, having a radially outer wall extending along an axis; a radially inner wall extending along the axis, wherein the radially inner wall is positioned within the radially outer wall to define an annular detonation chamber having an inlet and an outlet, wherein the method includes flowing liquid phase fuel along at least one wall of the radially inner wall and the radially outer wall in a direction from the outlet toward the inlet to cool the at least one wall and heat the liquid fuel to provide a heated liquid fuel; flowing the heated liquid fuel to a mixer at the inlet to reduce pressure of the heated liquid fuel, flash vaporize the heated liquid fuel and mix flash vaporized fuel with oxidant to produce a vaporized fuel-oxidant mixture; and detonating the mixture in the annular detonation chamber.

A gas turbine facility of an embodiment includes: a combustor casing; a combustor provided in the combustor casing; a cylinder surrounding a periphery of the combustor and dividing a space between the combustor casing and the combustor; a turbine rotated by combustion gas exhausted from the combustor; a heat exchanger cooling the combustion gas exhausted from the turbine; a pipe through which a part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger passes in the heat exchanger to be heated, the pipe guiding the combustion gas heated in the heat exchanger into the cylinder; and a pipe guiding another part of the combustion gas cooled in the heat exchanger to a space between the combustor casing and the cylinder.

A combustor includes a housing and a liner that define an inlet configured to receive an inlet fluid. An inlet splitter is disposed in the inlet which splits the inlet into a first annulus and a second annulus. A fuel supply system selectively injects fuel into the first annulus and the second annulus, and a centerbody that includes a plurality of struts radially extending from a central hub receives the inlet fluid mixed with fuel, thereby creating fluid swirl.

There is provided a gas turbine combustor capable of improving cooling performance of a combustion chamber thereof and reducing the amount of NOx emissions. The gas turbine combustor includes: a cylindrical combustion chamber that burns combustion air and fuel to thereby produce combustion gas; an outer casing disposed concentrically on an outside of the combustion chamber; an end cover disposed at an upstream side end portion of the outer casing; an annular passage formed by an outer peripheral surface of the combustion chamber and an inner peripheral surface of the outer casing, the annular passage allowing the combustion air to flow therethrough; and a passage formed inside a combustion chamber wall between the outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface of the combustion chamber, the passage having a U-shape turned sideways and having ends disposed on an upstream side in a transverse cross-sectional view, in which the passage includes a first passage that extends in parallel with an axial direction of the combustion chamber and has a supply hole on a first end side thereof, the supply hole communicating with an outside of the combustion chamber wall, and a second passage that has a second end side communicating with a second end side of the first passage and has a jet hole on a first end side thereof, the jet hole communicating with an inside of the combustion chamber wall.
