Abstract:
A combustor includes a plurality of bundled tube fuel nozzles which are annularly arranged around a common axial centerline. The plurality of bundled tube fuel nozzles comprise a first bundled tube fuel nozzle and a second bundled tube fuel nozzle. The first bundled tube fuel nozzle includes a first fuel plenum and a plurality of premix tubes which extend axially therethrough. The second bundled tube fuel nozzle includes a second fuel plenum and a plurality of premix tubes which extend axially therethrough. The first fuel plenum is axially offset at a predefined axial distance from the second fuel plenum so as to mitigate combustion tones within the combustor. In one embodiment, premix tube fuel ports disposed within the first and/or second fuel plenums may be axially offset with respect to each other within the corresponding fuel plenums at a predefined axial distance to mitigate combustion tones within the combustor.
