The aerodynamic structure of the flow in the combustion 
chamber of the GTÉ-150 gas-turbine power plant has been simulated 
numerically by means of the FLUENT suite CFD. The influence of the 
processes of turbulent heat and mass transfer (and combustion) on 
the hydraulic loss in the combustion chamber has been investigated. 
Detailed comparison of the calculated and experimental data on 
the total pressure loss both n the combustion chamber proper 
and in its individual units has been carried out.
