AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Can. Centrifugal-flow gas turbines typically use can-type combustion chambers, also known as "can" or "tubular" combustion chambers. These chambers are cylindrical in shape and are arranged around the central axis of the engine, with each chamber acting as an independent combustion unit. The can-type design is commonly used in centrifugal-flow gas turbines due to its simplicity, ease of maintenance, and ability to accommodate the airflow characteristics of the centrifugal compressor. The other options (A, C, and D) are not commonly used in centrifugal-flow gas turbine engines.
