Abstract
Combustion systems constructed of a multiplicity of small elements appear attractive from the aspects of low pressure loss and short chamber length. A combustion chamber has been proposed, by Spalding of Cambridge University, in which fuel is fed under gravity down the surfaces of vertical cylinders located normally to the air stream. Preliminary tests were made at Cambridge, and the work has been continued at Cranfield under a Ministry of Supply Contract.
