gas turbine combustors). That said, many ramjet combustors are also similar to traditional gas turbine combustors, such as the combustor in the ramjet

engine management developments. William C. Pfefferle developed a catalytic combustor for gas turbines in the early 1970s, allowing combustion without significant

single-annular combustors and 22% over double-annular combustors. The analytical tools developed for TAPS have also been used to improve other combustors, notably

benefits as well. There are two reasons for the rapid increase of FBC in combustors. First, the liberty of choice in respect of fuels in general, not only

propeller. A turboprop consists of an intake, reduction gearbox, compressor, combustor, turbine, and a propelling nozzle. Air enters the intake and is compressed

particular pattern of standing waves. Such a pattern also forms in actual combustors, but takes a more complex form. The acoustic waves perturb the flame.

Compressor: Dual Spool Axial compressor with 3-stage fan, 10-stage compressor Combustors: annular Turbine: 2-stage high pressure, 2-stage low-pressure Maximum

mixed with the compressed air and burns in the combustor. The combustion products leave the combustor and expand through the turbine where power is extracted

the combustor raises the air temperature by burning fuel. This takes place with a small pressure loss. The air velocity entering the combustor has to
