Which component contains the combustion process?

Explanation:
The combustion process is contained in the burner cans because they form the enclosed flame tubes where the fuel-air mixture actually burns. Inside each burner can, fuel is injected by the fuel nozzles and the flame is sustained by the ignition system when needed, but the burning occurs within the enclosed chamber of the burner can. Igniter plugs are used to start or relight the flame, so they don’t continuously contain combustion. The turbine section sits downstream of combustion and uses the high-energy gases produced, but it does not contain the combustion itself.
