Abstract
Improved performance in a hot gas generator 10 is achieved by providing a liner 21 positioned within a wall 14 of a vessel 12 so as to be disposed about a combustion chamber 20 therein. The liner 21 is positioned relative to the wall 14 to define a relatively uniform gap 26 therebetween and is adapted to thermally expand under heat for controlling heat transfer from the combustion chamber 20 through the liner 21 and the wall 14 entirely throughout a preselected temperature range. With this arrangement, the gap 26 is selected to accommodate thermal expansion of the liner 21 in a manner producing relatively little stress thereon.
