Engine having centrifugal compressor, annular combustion chamber and a guide channel arrangement having different guide channel elements

Abstract

The invention relates to an engine, having—a centrifugal compressor, —an annular combustion chamber, which is arranged downstream of the centrifugal compressor in a longitudinal direction along an engine axis, —a turbine, which is arranged downstream of the annular combustion chamber in the longitudinal direction, and—arranged between the centrifugal compressor and the annular combustion chamber a guide channel arrangement, which is designed to deflect air flowing out of the centrifugal compressor. The guide channel arrangement comprises at least two different types of guide channel elements, which are designed to deflect air flowing out of the centrifugal compressor at different angles of outflow toward the engine axis and thus to deflect, with differing degrees of intensity, air flowing out of the centrifugal compressor in a circumferential direction extending around the engine axis.
