Introduction

Types of Combustion Chamber

 Can or Tubular  Annular  Can Annular

Can Type Combustor
 Self-Contained cylindrical combustion chambers.

 Each "can" has its own fuel injector, igniter, liner, and casing.

 Can-type combustors are easy to maintain, as only a single can needs to be

removed, rather than the whole combustion section.

 Aside from aircraft applications they are used in industrial applications and in the
targeted drones.
Literature Review
 Can-Type Combustor Design by Charles E. Hornbeck.

This paper will be taken as a reference for our project.

 The Design of Combustors for Ramjet Engines by J. J. Zelinski

 Gas Turbine Theory by HIH Saravanamuttoo and GFC Rogers.

Methodology
 Analytical Design

 Determination of different parameters

Inlet pressure ,Temperature ,Pressure Losses ,Mass Flow Rate , Fuel to Air Ratio and
different stage parameters.

 MATLAB Code

 Demonstration

 Optimization
