What is Combustor?
[[File:Combustor on Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet (1).jpg|thumb|{{center|Combustor on Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet}}]] A '''combustor''' is a part or area of a [[gas turbine]], [[ramjet]], or [[scramjet]] [[engine]] where [[combustion]] takes place. It is also known as a '''burner''', '''combustion chamber''' or '''flame holder'''. In a gas turbine engine, the ''combustor'' or [[combustion chamber]] is fed [[Compressed air|high pressure air]] by the compression system.<ref name=Hunecke4.6>Klaus Hünecke, ''Jet Engines: Fundamentals of Theory, Design, and Operation'' (Osceola, WI: Motorbooks International, 1997), pp. 4–6</ref> The combustor then heats this air at constant [[:wikt:pressure|pressure]].<ref name=Hunecke4.6/> After heating, air passes from the combustor through the [[:en:vane|vanes]] to the turbine.<ref name=Hunecke4.6/> In the case of a ramjet or scramjet engines, the air is directly fed to a [[nozzle]].<ref>E T Curran, 'Scramjet Propulsion', ''Progress in Aastronautics and Aeronautics'', Vol. 189 (2000), p. 5</ref> ==Components== * Casing * Diffuser * Liner * Snout * Dome * [[Fuel injection|Fuel injector]] * Igniter ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== *https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/53646 *https://grabcad.com/library/can-combustor-2 *https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360319922024752 *https://fetchcfd.com/view-project/75-can-combustor- *https://www.aircraftsystemstech.com/p/combustion-section-combustion-section.html *https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42452-019-0753-4 *https://www.mdpi.com/2311-5521/6/3/129 *https://armyaviation.tpub.com/AL0993/Figure-1-20-Can-Annular-Combustion-Chamber-134.htm *https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/18/2/390 *https://grabcad.com/library/can-type-combustion-chamber-1 *https://www.aircav.com/gencombu.html *https://nara.getarchive.net/media/30-degree-angle-of-model-7-swirl-can-combustor-c4fc81 *https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/105513/is-there-any-version-of-cfm56-with-can-combustors *https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/2023
