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, which can supply a primary fuel supply and a secondary fuel supply. Increasing efficiency and reducing emission require the use of alternative fuels, which combust at higher temperatures or burn at faster burn speeds than traditional fuels, requiring improved fuel introduction without the occurrence of flame holding or flashback.

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: A combustor for a gas turbine has a combustor liner including an upstream liner portion, and a downstream liner portion. The upstream liner portion includes an outer shell and a heat shield panel, with a baffle cavity therebetween. The outer shell includes an outer shell cooling opening for providing a flow of compressed air to the baffle cavity, and the heat shield panel includes a heat shield panel cooling opening at a downstream end of the heat shield panel. A fence is arranged at a downstream side of the heat shield panel cooling opening and extends beyond a hot side surface of the heat shield panel into a combustion chamber. The heat shield panel cooling opening provides a flow of the compressed air therethrough from the baffle cavity for cooling of the heat shield panel and for providing at least partial dilution of combustion gases within 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.
