Abstract: An apparatus and method for a combustor, the combustor including combustor liner having a plurality of dilution openings. The combustor receives a flow of fuel that is ignited and mixed with dilution air to form a flow of combustion gases. The flow of combustion gases travels through the combustor to a turbine section of an engine.

Abstract: A mixing assembly includes a pilot mixer and a main mixer. The main mixer includes a main housing, a fuel manifold positioned between a pilot housing and the main housing, a mixer foot extending outward from a forward end of the main housing, and a main swirler body including a plurality of vanes. The main swirler body surrounds the main housing and defines an annular mixing channel between the main housing and the main swirler body, and being coupled to the mixer foot. An annular main fuel ring extends axially aft from the mixer foot into the annular mixing channel. The mixer foot extends farther from the main housing than the main fuel ring. At least one of the mixer foot or the main fuel ring includes a plurality of fuel injection ports positioned to discharge fuel into a central portion of the annular mixing channel.

Abstract: A fuel system for a turbine engine. The fuel system includes a fuel/air mixer configured to mix air with fuel in a controlled fuel/air ratio, the fuel/air mixer having a body defining a chamber. The fuel system also includes a fuel nozzle in fluid communication with the fuel/air mixer. The fuel nozzle is configured to inject fuel into the chamber of the fuel/air mixer. The fuel nozzle is located forwardly relative to the body of the fuel/air mixer so that a jet-in-crossflow of the fuel is angled relative to a foot of the body of the fuel/air mixer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine. The combustor assembly includes a deflector wall, an annular axial wall, and an annular shroud. The deflector wall is extended at least partially along a radial direction and a circumferential direction relative to an axial centerline and adjacent to a combustion chamber. A fuel nozzle opening is defined through the deflector wall, and a nozzle centerline is extended through the fuel nozzle opening along a lengthwise direction. The annular axial wall is coupled to the deflector wall and extended through the fuel nozzle opening. The axial wall is defined around the nozzle centerline. The annular shroud is defined around the nozzle centerline and extended co-directional to the axial wall. The axial wall and the annular shroud are each coupled to a radial wall defined upstream of the deflector wall. The annular shroud, the axial wall, and the radial wall together define a cooling plenum therebetween. The axial wall defines a discrete inlet opening therethrough providing fluid communication from a diffuser cavity to the cooling plenum. The cooling plenum defines an exit opening providing fluid communication from the cooling plenum to the combustion chamber.
