    Abstract: A fluid nozzle includes a first fluid circuit, a second fluid circuit spaced apart from the first fluid circuit and a fuel circuit. The fuel circuit is defined between the first and second fluid circuits and between a first fuel circuit wall and a second fuel circuit wall. A ring-shaped permeable barrier is positioned between the first and second fuel circuit walls configured and adapted to provide a controlled resistance to fuel flow. A fuel distributor includes a first fuel circuit wall and a second fuel circuit wall spaced apart from the first fuel circuit wall. A fuel circuit is defined between the first and second fuel circuit walls. A ring-shaped permeable barrier is positioned between first and second fuel circuit walls. A combustion assembly includes a combustor housing, a combustor dome positioned at an upstream end of the combustor housing, and a fluid nozzle positioned adjacent the combustor dome.

    Abstract: An injection system includes an inner nozzle body defining a first air path along a longitudinal axis. The first air path defines a converging-diverging section between an upstream portion of the first air path and an outlet orifice of the first air path. A main orifice is defined at a narrowest portion of the converging-diverging section. A fuel circuit wall is outboard of the inner nozzle body. A fuel path is defined between the fuel circuit wall and the inner nozzle body. An outer nozzle body outboard of the fuel circuit wall has a second air path defined through the inner nozzle body for communication of air from the outer nozzle body into the first air path, wherein the second air path meets the first air path at a second orifice in the first air path downstream of the main orifice of the inner nozzle body.

    Abstract: A system includes a combustor. The combustor has a combustor wall with a combustor dome at an upstream end of the combustor wall, and an outlet at a downstream end of the combustor wall opposite the upstream end. The combustor wall includes an inner wall portion and an outer wall portion defining an interior of the combustor therebetween. Each of the inner wall portion and outer wall portion extends from the combustor dome to the downstream end of the combustor wall. The combustor wall includes an air cooling passage embedded inside at least one of the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion. The air cooling passage extends from the upstream end of the combustor wall to the downstream end of the combustor wall.
