Abstract
A combustion chamber is defined by a wall having a closed end into which liquid fuel and oxidant are introduced and an open end through which exhaust gases flow. A baffle at the open end causes exhaust gas to flow adjacent the wall. Injector devices direct liquid fuel radially inwardly of the chamber between the closed and open ends. Unburnt fuel attached to the wall cools the walls and passes to the open end before being entrained by the exhaust gas flow through the baffle.
