An assembly is provided for a turbine engine. This assembly includes a swirler and a fuel nozzle. The swirler is configured with an outer wall, an inner wall, an outer passage and an inner passage. The outer wall circumscribes the inner wall and extends axially along an axis to a distal outer wall end. The inner wall extends axially along the axis to a distal inner wall end that is axially recessed within the swirler from the distal outer wall end. The outer passage is formed by and radially between the inner wall and the outer wall. The inner passage is formed by and radially within the inner wall. The fuel nozzle projects into the inner passage. The fuel nozzle is configured with a plurality of orifices axially aligned with the inner wall and arranged circumferentially about the axis.

A fluid-gas mixer including a housing, defining a primary axis, for mixing fluid and gas, a mixer nozzle circumscribing the primary axis, wherein an annular gap between an outer surface of the mixer nozzle and an inner surface of the housing defines at least one outer gas path, a swirling gas passage defining an inner gas path for mixing with the outer gas path.

Fuel spray nozzle for generating a spray of atomised liquid fuel in a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The nozzle includes a flow circuit that has in flow series: a gallery that receives fuel flow, plural circumferentially-spaced restrictor passages arranged in a row around the nozzle, plural conditioning passages configured to impart a circumferential component to their respective portions of the fuel flow, and an annular spin chamber which forms a swirling fuel flow which is discharged at an exit port. The restrictor passages form flow restrictions which in use produce a pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber to evenly circumferentially distribute the fuel flow between the restrictor passages. The conditioning passages have increased flow cross-sectional areas relative to the flow cross-sectional areas of the restrictor passages, such that the restrictor passages produce substantially all of the pressure differential between the gallery and the spin chamber.

Provided is a liquid fuel injection body capable of further reducing a film thickness of an injected liquid fuel. A liquid fuel injection body includes: an annular fuel passage extending in an axial direction and provided inside the liquid fuel injection body, the fuel passage is defined by a fuel passage outer wall located outward in a radial direction and a fuel passage inner wall located inward in the radial direction, a plurality of throttle passages disposed discretely in a circumferential direction are provided at a portion of the fuel passage on an upstream side with respect to a downstream end of the fuel passage, each of the throttle passages is defined by a throttle passage outer wall located outward in the radial direction and formed as a cylindrical surface, a throttle passage inner wall located inward in the radial direction, and two throttle passage side walls connecting end portions of the throttle passage outer wall and the throttle passage inner wall in the circumferential direction, and the throttle passage outer wall and the fuel passage outer wall are flush whereas the throttle passage inner wall and the fuel passage inner wall are not flush.

An airblast injector for gas turbines is disclosed. The airblast injector assembly consists of fuel swirler, a swirler cup, and a combustor dome. The airblast injector is designed to improve engine performance without using a fuel staging system to incorporate pressure injectors. The swirler cup is provided with pressurized air which exits the swirler cup with high velocity that penetrates perpendicularly into the fuel spray cone obtained by orifices in the fuel swirler.

A fuel nozzle apparatus for a gas turbine engine includes: a first pilot fuel injector disposed on a centerline axis of the fuel nozzle which defines a direction of air flow through the fuel nozzle, the first pilot fuel injector being of a pressure atomizing type; an annular second pilot fuel injector at least partially surrounding the first pilot fuel injector, the second pilot fuel injector being of an air blast type and having a fuel outlet disposed axially downstream and radially outboard of the first pilot fuel injector; an annular venturi surrounding the first and second pilot fuel injectors, the venturi including a throat of minimum diameter; an array of inner swirl vanes extending between the first pilot fuel injector and the second pilot fuel injector; and an array of outer swirl vanes extending between the second pilot fuel injector and the venturi.

A turbine combustor assembly includes a fuel/air mixer assembly having a plurality of fuel/air mixer elements and a fuel injector coupled to the fuel/air mixer assembly. Each of the fuel/air mixer elements includes: a fuel/air mixer body having an internal cavity extending axially between an air inlet and an air outlet; and a prefilmer residing within an interior cavity of the fuel/air mixer body, the prefilmer including an axial inner air flow passage extending coaxially with an axial centerline of the internal cavity of the fuel/air mixer body and a radial fuel injection port into the air flow passage. The fuel injector is arranged to direct fuel into a plurality of the fuel/air mixer elements via the fuel injection port of the prefilmer of each fuel/air mixer element.

A nozzle for a combustor is disclosed. The nozzle may include a main fuel passage (202), a number of radial fuel ports (206) in communication with the main fuel passage, a prefilmer surface (212) in communication with the radial fuel ports, and a main purge air passage (218) in communication with the radial fuel ports and the prefilmer surface.

A fluid-gas mixer including a housing, defining a primary axis, for mixing fluid and gas, a mixer nozzle circumscribing the primary axis, wherein an annular gap between an outer surface of the mixer nozzle and an inner surface of the housing defines at least one outer gas path, a swirling gas passage defining an inner gas path for mixing with the outer gas path.

A combustion chamber assembly group includes a nozzle providing a fuel-air mixture at a nozzle exit opening. An end of a fuel guiding channel is bordered at the nozzle exit opening by a flow-off edge located radially outside, and an air guiding element of an air guiding channel of the nozzle located radially outside projects with respect to this flow-off edge in the axial direction with respect to a nozzle longitudinal axis such that: a reference angle present between the nozzle longitudinal axis and a straight boundary line extending through a point at the flow-off edge and tangentially to the axially projecting air guiding element, and/or a reference angle present between the nozzle longitudinal axis and a straight boundary line extending through a point at the flow-off edge and a point of the air guiding element that projects maximally beyond the flow-off edge in the axial direction is 50.
