Combustor

Methods for modeling and analyzing combustors in propulsion systems.

This module provides functions for computing the thermodynamic performance of combustors in gas turbine engines and other propulsion systems. It includes methods for calculating combustion properties, fuel consumption, and temperature rise across the combustor, as well as functions for initializing combustor conditions during mission analysis.

The combustor is a critical component in gas turbine engines where fuel is mixed with compressed air and burned to produce high-temperature gases that drive the turbine.
