Abstract
A combustor of a gas turbine having a plurality of liners defining combustion chambers, and transition pieces adapted to rectify the flow of the combustion gas discharged from the liners before the combustion gas is introduced to the turbine. A guide plate is disposed in the gap between each pair of adjacent transition pieces near the gas outlets of the latter so as to guide the flow of air to the radially outer surfaces of adjacent transition pieces, thereby to improve the cooling of these surfaces and, at the same time, to mechanically connect the adjacent transition pieces to suppress the vibration of the transition pieces.
