6．將近百分之二十的空氣質(zhì)量流量從錐形進口即進氣段(圖4-2)進來。緊靠此錐形口下游的是漩渦葉片和多孔的擴張段，空氣從這里進入主燃燒區(qū)。漩渦著的空氣誘導火焰筒中心部位的氣流向前流，促成符合愿望的再循環(huán)。未流入錐形口的空氣流入火焰筒和空氣機匣之間的環(huán)形空間。

7．在燃燒區(qū)附近的火焰筒體壁面上有選定數(shù)量的二股氣流孔，另外20％的空氣主流穿過這些孔進入主燃區(qū)。從漩渦葉片進來的空氣和從二股氣流孔進來的空氣互相作用，形成一個低速回流區(qū)。它呈回旋渦流形狀，類似發(fā)煙環(huán)，起穩(wěn)定和系留火焰的作用(圖4-3)。回流燃氣將新噴入的燃油滴迅速加溫到點燃溫度，促進了它們的燃燒。

COMBUSTION PROCESS
4. Air from the engine compressor enters the combustion chamber at a velocity up to 500 feet per second, but because at this velocity the air speed is far too high for combustion, the first thing that the chamber must do is to diffuse it, i.e. decelerate it and raise its static pressure. Since the speed of burning kerosine at normal mixture ratios is only a few feet per second, any fuel lit even in the diffused air stream, which now has a velocity of about 80 feet per second, would be blown away. A region of low axial velocity has therefore to be created in the chamber, so that the flame will remain alight throughout the range of engine operating conditions. 燃燒過程

5. In normal operation, the overall air/fuel ratio of a combustion chamber can vary between 45:1 and 130:1, However, kerosine will only burn efficiently at, or close to, a ratio of 15:1, so the fuel must be burned with only part of the air entering the chamber, in what is called a primary combustion zone. This is achieved by means of a flame tube (combustion liner) that has various devices for metering the airflow distribution along the chamber.
6.
Approximately 20 per cent of the air mass flow is taken in by the snout or entry section (fig. 4-2). Immediately downstream of the snout are swirl vanes and a perforated flare, through which air passes into the primary combustion zone. The swirling air induces a flow upstream of the centre of the flame tube and promotes the desired recirculation. The air not picked up by the snout flows into the annular space between the flame tube and the air casing.

7.
Through the wall of the flame tube body, adjacent to the combustion zone, are a selected number of secondary holes through which a further 20 per cent of the main flow of air passes into the primary zone. The air from the swirl vanes and that from the secondary air holes interacts and creates a region of low velocity recirculation. This takes the form of a toroidal vortex, similar to a smoke ring, which has the effect of stabilizing and anchoring the flame (fig, 4-3). The recirculating gases hasten the burning of freshly

8．設(shè)計中應當使從噴嘴呈錐形噴出的燃油與回旋渦流的中心相交。這一作用，和主燃燒區(qū)的總體紊流一起，極大地幫助了擊碎燃油并使之與正在進入的空氣混合起來。
9．燃燒釋放的燃氣溫度大約是1800到2000℃。此溫度太高，不適于進入渦輪導向器葉片。因此，未用于燃燒的空氣，它占大約60％的總空氣流量，被逐漸引入火焰筒。這部分空氣大約有三分之一用來在稀釋區(qū)降低燃氣的溫度，然后再進入渦輪，而其余的空氣則用來冷卻火焰筒的壁面。實現(xiàn)這一點是借助于一薄層冷卻空氣沿火焰筒壁的內(nèi)表面流動，將火焰筒壁面與熱燃氣隔開(圖4-4)。目前的一項發(fā)展成就允許冷卻空氣在排出前先進入火焰筒壁內(nèi)的一套通道，并形成一層隔熱空氣膜，這可以把要求冷卻壁面的氣流量減少50％之多。燃燒應當在稀釋空氣進入火焰筒以前完成，否則，進來的空氣會使火焰降溫，造成不完全燃燒。

8.
It is arranged that the conical fuel spray from the nozzle intersects the recirculation vortex at its centre. This action, together with the general turbulence in the primary zone, greatly assists in breaking up the fuel and mixing it with the incoming air.

9.
The temperature of the gases released by combustion is about 1,800 to 2,000 deg. C., which is far too hot for entry to the nozzle guide vanes of the turbine. The air not used for combustion, which amounts to about 60 per cent of the total airflow, is therefore introduced progressively into the flame tube. Approximately a third of this is used to lower the gas temperature in the dilution zone before it enters

the turbine and the remainder is used for cooling the walls of the flame tube. This is achieved by a film of cooling air flowing along the inside surface of the flame tube wall, insulating it from the hot combustion gases (fig. 4-4). A recent development allows cooling air to enter a network of passages within the flame tube wall before exiting to form an insulating film of air, this can reduce the required wall cooling airflow by up to 50 per cent. Combustion should be completed before the dilution air enters the flame tube, otherwise the incoming air will cool the flame and incomplete combustion will result.
