[0024] The diameter of the combustion chamber 12 ranges from 120 mm, and the length of the combustion chamber 12 ranges from 200 mm.
[0025] The oil injection ring 11 is provided with twelve horn-shaped oil injection holes; the first oil delivery pipe 10 and the second oil delivery pipe 13 pass through the holes of the first combustion chamber shell 22 and the second combustion chamber shell 23; the first mounting column 20 and the second mounting column 21 are fixedly connected with the first combustion chamber shell 22 and the second combustion chamber shell 23 respectively through the externally arranged threaded holes and screws; the first mounting column 20 and the second mounting column 21 are welded with the oil injection ring 11 and the flame stabilizer 16, and the igniter 17 is fixedly arranged on the first combustion chamber shell 22 through the arranged threads and nuts.
[0026] The overall diameter of the oil injection ring 11 ranges from 80 mm, the outer diameter of the ring body of the oil injection ring 11 is 5 mm, and the wall thickness is 0.5 mm; the angle of the oil injection hole of the oil injection ring 11 relative to the flow direction ranges from 45 degrees.

In the combustion chamber, oil is input from the outside to the oil delivery pipe to the oil delivery ring, and is atomized and sprayed through the horn-shaped injection hole on the oil delivery ring under the action of pressure difference. Under the shearing force of the high-speed airflow of the ducted fan, the liquid droplets break up and become smaller. The V-shaped groove of the flame stabilizer 16 generates a gas flow stabilization zone, and most of the oil is in this area, which is ignited by the igniter to produce a violent reaction. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated in the combustion process is accelerated through the convergent nozzle, and according to the momentum conservation theorem, the momentum change rate generated by the high-speed jet flow and the vector sum of the pressure difference force constitute the engine thrust. This energy conversion process follows the basic principles of the Brayton thermodynamic cycle, i.e. isentropic compression, isobaric heating and isentropic expansion.
