Stress on the wall of the primary combustor is minimized. Thus, the steam pressure in the inlet manifold is approximately the same as the combustor discharge pressure at the throat, and annular expansion tubes minimize stresses in the jacket. The second combustor accomplishes lean burning of the gases discharged from primary combustor. The combination of the rich burning of heavy fuels followed by lean burning minimizes the NOx in the exhaust gas discharged from combustor. The novelty of the invention appears to lie in cooling a rich burn combustor with spiral streams of saturated steam flowing between the combustor linear and the jacket at a predetermined pressure; the jacket including stress relief means.
