APPARATUS WITH ARRANGEMENT OF FUEL EJECTION ORIFICES CONFIGURED FOR MITIGATING COMBUSTION DYNAMICS IN A COMBUSTION TURBINE ENGINE

Apparatus and method for a combustion turbine engine are provided. A pre-mixing passage (24) has an upstream inlet arranged to receive a flow of air to be mixed with fuel. A fuel-injecting lance (12) is disposed in the pre-mixing passage. At least a first fuel ejection orifice (40) is disposed at a...

Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and method for a combustion turbine engine are provided. A pre-mixing passage (24) has an upstream inlet arranged to receive a flow of air to be mixed with fuel. A fuel-injecting lance (12) is disposed in the pre-mixing passage. At least a first fuel ejection orifice (40) is disposed at a first axial location of the fuel-injecting lance. At least a second ejection orifice (42) is disposed at a second axial location of the fuel-injecting lance. A spacing between the first and second axial locations is arranged to effect oscillatory interference patterns in pockets comprising mixtures of air and fuel that flow towards a downstream outlet of the pre-mixing passage. The oscillatory interference patterns may be effective to promote homogeneity in the mixtures of air and fuel and dampen thermoacoustic oscillations in a flame (46) formed upon ignition of the mixtures of air and fuel.
