Abstract: A combustion section of a turbine engine having a primary combustion chamber and a secondary combustion chamber. The primary combustion chamber is defined, at least in part, by a combustor liner and a dome wall. A primary fuel nozzle having an outlet is located at the dome wall, wherein the outlet of the primary fuel nozzle is fluidly coupled with the primary combustion chamber. At least one opening located in an outer liner axially aft of the dome wall fluidly couples the secondary combustion chamber and the primary combustion chamber. A set of secondary fuel nozzles are fluidly coupled with the secondary 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, 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.

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.
