Turbine engine with air and steam cooling
This patent describes a turbine engine. It comprises: a compressor for introducing compressed air into the engine; a combustor downstream from the compressor, the combustor comprising a casing, and a liner dispersed within and spaced apart from the casing such as to form a mixing region between the liner and the casing, wherein the liner forms a combustor inlet at the upstream end of the combustor and the mixing region receives at least a portion of the compressed air, and the liner is formed such as to allow flow between the mixing region and the combustion zone; a turbine downstream from the combustor. The turbine having a cooling passage therein; means for introducing steam into the mixing region downstream of the combustor inlet such as to form an air and stream mixture; and means for introducing the air and stream mixture into the cooling passage.
