| 31. | Unlike the can combustor, all the combustion zones share a common ring ( annulus ) casing.
|
| 32. | The heated combustor converts water in tubes lining the combustor's walls to high pressure steam.
|
| 33. | The heated combustor converts water in tubes lining the combustor's walls to high pressure steam.
|
| 34. | In response, the speed governor holds engine speed steady by adjusting fuel delivery to the combustor.
|
| 35. | The design also included an annular reverse-flow combustor and a three-stage turbine section.
|
| 36. | Further diffusion is then required to get the air velocity down to a suitable level for the combustor.
|
| 37. | Pratt & Whitney produces the combustor and high-pressure turbine, MTU the low-pressure turbine.
|
| 38. | Since there is no downstream turbine, a ramjet combustor can safely operate at yaw / pitch during turns.
|
| 39. | The combustion products leave the combustor and expand through the turbine where power is extracted to drive the compressor.
|
| 40. | However, as its name implies, a scramjet combustor must address these challenges in a supersonic flow environment.
