Turbine engine
This patent describes a turbine engine. It comprises: a rotary compressor; a turbine wheel connected to the compressor for driving the same; an annular combustor disposed about the axis including an inner wall having an outlet for gases of combustion; an annular nozzle about the turbine wheel and in fluid communication with the outlet so that gases of combustion may be directed at the turbine wheel to drive the same; an annular outer wall for the combustor extending about the axis and about the inner wall in spaced relation thereto to define a space for cooling and combustion air; means establishing fluid communication between the compressor and the space for delivering compressed air to the space; and fuel injection nozzles.
