Abstract
A reverse flow annular combustor is provided having downstream wall comprised of a shroud covering the outer surface of the outer transition liner. The shroud abuts the transition liner at a plurality of points to define a plurality of passages between the shroud and the liner. The passages receiving cooling through the shroud at its radial inner end and expel the cooling air through the liner at its outer radial portion and into the hot gas in the combustor. Thus, the air used to cool the liner is also used for dilution mixing with the combustion gas.
