Abstract
In a gas turbine combustion chamber, which consists of an inlet zone (1) with injection, an ignition delay zone (2), a reaction zone (3), a burn-out zone (4) and a transition zone (5) to the turbine, the reaction zone (3) has a cross-section which increases in such a way that the gas dynamics of the combustion process can take place at constant pressure or constant Mach number. By this means, the total pressure loss and the combustion chamber length necessary for the combustion are reduced and this is reflected in an improvement to the efficiency and the output.
