Abstract:
A fuel delivery apparatus for a dry low emission (DLE) combustor (16) for a gas turbine engine (10) is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of combustor domes (36) circumferentially arranged and coupled to the combustor inlet and a premixer (40) coupled to a respective one of each of the plurality of domes. Each premixer includes a chamfered trailing edge (136) configured to suppress coupling of a vortex shedding with acoustic vibrations in the combustor.
Abstract:
A combustor (16) for a gas turbine includes a combustion chamber (50), a pilot mixer (42) including a pilot centerbody (54) and at least one axial air swirler (60) that is radially outward from and concentrically mounted with respect to the pilot centerbody. The pilot mixer is upstream from the combustion chamber. A main mixer (44) is radially outward from and is concentrically aligned with respect to the pilot mixer. The main mixer includes at least one swirler (140) that is configured to inject fuel therethrough into the main mixer. The main mixer is upstream from the combustion chamber. An annular centerbody (106) extends between the pilot mixer and the main mixer. The centerbody includes a radially inner surface (102) and a radially outer surface (104). The radially inner surface includes at least one of a divergent portion and a convergent portion.
