Abstract: An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion. Increasing efficiency and meeting emission needs can be met with the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures or higher speeds than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.

Abstract: An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion. The fuel nozzle can include both a primary and secondary fuel passage, and an additional air passage to provide for greater flame control, fuel provision, or local fuel and air mixing prior to combustion.

Abstract: A combustor for a gas turbine includes a combustor liner, an outer casing surrounding the combustor liner, an ignitor housing extending through an ignitor opening through the liner, and an ignitor disposed within the ignitor housing. The ignitor housing includes a housing wall including at least one airflow inlet passage on a downstream side of the housing wall and arranged within the outer flow passage, and at least one cooling passage on the downstream side within the housing wall. The at least one cooling passage extends along a length of the ignitor housing from the at least one airflow inlet passage and through the inner end of the ignitor housing, the at least one cooling passage being in fluid communication with the at least one airflow inlet passage.

Abstract: A combustor liner for a gas turbine includes a liner that at least partially defines a combustion chamber, and that a plurality of dilution openings therethrough. Each dilution opening includes an outer wall defining an outer perimeter of the dilution opening and defining a dilution opening centerline axis through the dilution opening. A plurality of swirl vanes extend from the outer wall into a dilution airflow passage that extends through the dilution opening. Each of the plurality of swirl vanes extends from the outer wall into the dilution airflow passage at a respective swirl vane angle with respect to the outer wall. The plurality of swirl vanes are arranged in a successive arrangement about the outer wall, and successive respective ones of the plurality of swirl vanes extend from the outer wall at a different swirl vane angle.
