Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A combustor in a gas turbine includes a liner having an interior volume defining a main combustion zone, a fuel injection system for delivering fuel into the main combustion zone, and a flow sleeve that defines, with the liner, a passageway for air to flow on its way to be mixed with fuel from the fuel injection system, wherein the mixture is burned in the main combustion zone to create hot combustion gases. The combustor further includes a flow conditioner including at least one panel having a configuration such that air is able to pass through the panel(s) on its way to the passageway, wherein at least a substantial portion of the air that enters the passageway for being burned in the main combustion zone passes through the panel(s).
