cannular

The combustion area consisted of ten cannular flame cans.

However, a cannular combustor can be more difficult to maintain than a can combustor.

The exit flow from the cannular combustor generally has a more uniform temperature profile, which is better for the turbine section.

The combustor is cannular.

The pale, pink tincture flowed out of the apparatus and disappeared into the silver cannular embedded in the young prince's tightly bound wrist.

Today three main configurations exist: can, annular and cannular (also referred to as can-annular tubo-annular).

The next type of combustor is the cannular combustor; the term is a portmanteau of "can annular".

Cannular type: Like the can type combustor, can annular combustors have discrete combustion zones contained in separate liners with their own fuel injectors.

The combustion system was novel in that ten connected flame tubes were housed within a cannular system: a hybrid of separate flame cans and a true annular system.

Unlike similar modules built around a K tube, this corvette's central globe was part of the tube itself-a place where the long, cannular structure swelled to a spherical chamber before shrinking again at the point opposite his present position.

An example of a gas turbine engine utilizing a cannular combustor is the General Electric J79 The Pratt & Whitney JT8D and the Rolls-Royce Tay turbofans use this type of combustor as well.
