Abstract
A gas turbine engine combustion apparatus for vaporizing fuel comprises a flame tube having an upstream end wall in which are located a number of flow guides having associated fuel ducts. In operation, fuel and air flow through the U-shaped duct in each guide and the fuel flows onto the inside of the end wall which acts as a vaporizing surface. The exterior of the end wall is cooled by a flow of air from the engine compressor. The invention avoids the need of vaporizing tubes within the flame tube.
