The inner coating is configured to reduce the fuel flow from contacting a base material of the first inner surface of the first component to reduce catalytic coke formation in the first interior.

A dry low NO.sub.X staged combustion system includes a fuel nozzle and a combustion compartment. The fuel nozzle includes a purge gas tube, a diffusion combustion fuel tube, an isolation gas tube, a premixed combustion fuel tube, a premixed combustion air tube. The purge gas tube is configured to feed a purge gas. The diffusion combustion fuel tube is fitted over the purge gas tube, and having an end provided with a diffusion combustion fuel swirler. The isolation gas tube is fitted over the diffusion combustion fuel tube. The premixed combustion fuel tube is fitted over the isolation gas tube.

A combustion staging system includes a splitting unit which receives a metered fuel flow and controllably splits the received fuel flow into pilot and mains flows. Pilot and mains fuel manifolds distribute fuel from the splitting unit to the pilot and mains stages. The splitting unit selects and deselects pilot-only operation. Both pilot and mains manifolds are selectable for pilot and mains operation. A cooling flow recirculation line has a delivery section arranged to provide a cooling flow of fuel to the mains manifold when it is deselected during pilot-only operation. Cooling flow enters the delivery section from a high pressure fuel zone of the engine and exits the return section to a low pressure fuel zone of the engine. A controller adjusts the splitting unit during pilot-only operation to partially select the mains manifold thereby increasing the pressure in the mains manifold to meet a target fuel pressure therein.

A system may be provided that includes a hot section component of a gas turbine engine. The hot section component includes a dual wall, which includes a first wall and a second wall. The first wall includes multiple impingement cooling holes extending through the first wall. The second wall is positioned adjacent the first wall.
