Abstract:
1. A fuel processing chamber for a turbine engine, comprising: a chamber housing defining a first pre-combustion vortex chamber and a second pre-combustion vortex chamber for creating a vortical flow of fluid; a first air introduction passageway in fluid communication with the first pre-combustion vortex chamber, and a second air introduction passageway in fluid communication with the second pre-combustion vortex chamber; a chamber output coupled to the second pre-combustion vortex chamber for discharging fluid from the second pre-combustion vortex chamber; one of the first or the second pre-combustion vortex chambers comprising an array of input apertures formed in the chamber housing to allow the input of fluid tangentially into the first or the second pre-combustion vortex chamber to create the vortical flow that passes through the housing, the vortical flow breaking down into smaller particles and vaporizing any non-vaporized particles in the vortical flow.
