The spaced tubular members have inner cylindrical portions and outwardly extending flanges, with spacers disposed between and secured to the flanges with cooling air passing therebetween and through the annular air flow passage into the combustion chamber. Preferably, a radially outwardly extending arcuate section on the inner tubular member has a radius at least about one-third of the inner diameter of the inner cylindrical portion thereof.
