An inter turbine combustion is one of modern direction of turbofan engine cycle modification. It is possible to reduce gas temperature in high-pressure turbine inlet section and reduce NOX emission by an additional combustor placed between high and low pressure turbines. The analysis of engine cycle modification and its performance are a scope of many scientific investigations, but it is not any work about engine dimension change due to cycle modification. By these way problems of two combustor engine components and dimensions, change with comparison to conventional turbofan engine is a goal of this work. The structure of a turbofan engine with inter turbine combustor is shown and results of evaluation temperature and pressure in specified engine cut sections are presented and discussed. Then the gas density is calculated and by mass continuity equation application, the specified cross section areas are determined. The results of two-combustor turbofan engine are compared with conventional high bypass turbofan engine. The comparison of engines parameters allow to predict how engine components should be modified in two-combustor turbofan when the base of modification is classic turbofan engine. The analyse contain determination of compressor and turbine stage numbers, prediction of areas of cross section and diameters in specified engine sections and overall engine axial dimensions. The results are used to formulate conclusion about the turbofan engine structure modification by additional combustor implementation between turbines.
