Abstract: A turbine engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the turbine, which drives 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 carbon-containing emission needs benefit from the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a combustion section for a gas turbine engine including a combustor assembly, an outer casing, a fuel injector assembly, and an inner casing. An inner liner and an outer liner are each extended at least partially along a lengthwise direction and at an acute angle. A dome assembly is extended between the inner liner and the outer liner, and the inner liner, and the outer liner together define a combustion chamber therebetween. A bulkhead assembly defining a plurality of walls is coupled to the inner liner and generally surrounding the outer liner and dome assembly. The outer casing surrounds the combustor assembly. The inner casing, the outer casing, and the combustor assembly together define a primary flowpath. An oxidizer flows through the primary flowpath in serial flow through the plenum and the fuel injector assembly into the combustion chamber.

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 gas turbine engine includes a compressor section, a combustor section, and a turbine section in fore-to-aft serial flow arrangement and defines an engine centerline. The combustor section includes a combustor liner at least partially defining a combustor chamber and a dome wall, coupled to the combustor liner, and defining a forward end of the combustion chamber. A fuel nozzle is located on the dome wall and fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber. A first set of compressed air openings emit compressed air into the combustion chamber along a first flow path and a second set of compressed air openings emit compressed air into the combustion chamber along a second flow path. The first and second flow paths intersect at an intersection point to form a sheet of air.
