Abstract

See full text

A pre-mixing type of fuel nozzle (10) for use in a combustion turbine engine is provided. The nozzle includes an array of pre-mixing conduits (20) that extends between an inlet end (14) and an outlet end (16) of a body 12 of the nozzle. The nozzle may further include an array of air flow conduits (22) disposed radially inwardly relative to the array of pre-mixing conduits. The nozzle may include an inter-conduit passageway 24 arranged to aerodynamically reduce flow recirculation in the array of pre-mixing conduits. A fuel-directing structure (26) may include non-swirl elements (28) to direct fuel flow along a radial direction, each non-swirl element including at least one orifice (32) to inject the fuel flow directed along the radial direction into a respective pre-mixing conduit to pre-mix air and fuel.
