Abstract
In the use of combustion apparatus with hot gas turbines it is desirable to e able to efficiently burn fuel at widely ranging rates (pounds per hour) in accordance with varying demands on the turbine. The present invention proposes a combustor wherein stable combustion is achieved over a wide range of fuel flows. Combustion air is introduced as a circumferential swirl around the sprayed fuel to promote a high tangential velocity and low core velocity.
