COMBUSTION CHAMBER
A combustion chamber arrangement includes an annular outer and inner walls including at least one row of tiles. Each tile in the row of tiles has a rail extending towards and sealing with the outer wall and lip extending in a downstream direction from the row of tiles. The outer wall has a row of apertures to direct coolant onto the lips of the row of tiles. Each tile has a fastener positioned upstream of the rail and the fastener extends through a corresponding mounting aperture to secure the tile to the outer wall. The rail of each tile defines a plurality of slots with the outer wall and the slots are arranged in a region downstream of the corresponding fastener. None of the apertures in the row of apertures are in a region downstream of the tiles fastener. The arrangement reduces crack generation and propagation in the outer wall.
Self-adapting gas turbine firebox with variable geometry
A self-adapting gas turbine firebox with variable geometry includes at least one system with variable opening for automatically adjusting a combustion configuration inside a combustion chamber according to an air temperature, particularly of air from a compressor. The adjustment is performed by a thermosensitive member that controls at least one cross-sectional area of a passage to the combustion chamber, for air which participates in the combustion of fuel or participates in a dilution of gases effective inside the combustion chamber.
Jet engine, flying object, and operation method of jet engine
A jet engine has an inlet 11 configured to introduce air, and a combustor 12 having a fuel injection port 30a that injects a fuel, and configured to combust the fuel injected from the fuel injection port 30a by using the air. The combustor 12 has a separation section 14 defining the air passage FA through which the air flows, between a rear end 15 of the inlet and the fuel injection port 30a. A plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) are arranged in the separation section 14 to makes the air flow turbulent. Each of the plurality of turbulent flow generating sections (20;25) contains a member (21;22;25B) which can restrain the turbulence of the air flow by moving or disappearing. It can be prevented that a high-pressure region reaches the inlet so that the thrust of the jet engine is reduced.

Combustion device and gas turbine
A combustion device burns fuel ammonia with combustion air in a combustion chamber, and includes: a combustor liner which forms the combustion chamber; a burner which is installed at one end of the combustor liner; a deflection member which is provided on a downstream side of the combustor liner in a flow direction of a combustion gas, and is configured to deflect the flow direction of the combustion gas; and at least one ammonia injection hole which is provided between the burner and an outlet of the deflection member and is configured to supply the fuel ammonia into the combustion chamber.

Jet engine, flying object and method of operating jet engine
The jet engine includes an inlet and a combustor. The inlet (11) takes air. The combustor burns fuel with the air. The combustor includes an injector (20). The injector (20) has an opening (31) through which the fuel is injected. The injector (20) includes a self-extinguishing member (32). The self-extinguishing member (32) self-extinguishes with time in a flight so that the injection direction of the fuel is modified.

Variable geometry thruster
A propulsion system coupled to a vehicle. The system includes a diffusing structure and a conduit portion configured to introduce to the diffusing structure through a passage a primary fluid produced by the vehicle. The passage is defined by a wall, and the diffusing structure comprises a terminal end configured to provide egress from the system for the introduced primary fluid. A constricting element is disposed adjacent the wall. An actuating apparatus is coupled to the constricting element and is configured to urge the constricting element toward the wall, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the passage.
