The method also includes, while supplying fuel to the combustor by supplying fuel to the first fuel manifold: stopping supplying fuel to the second fuel manifold; and supplying pressurized air to the second fuel manifold to flush fuel in the second fuel manifold into the combustor and hinder coking in the second fuel manifold and associated fuel nozzles.

Lubrication systems of an aircraft engine and associated methods are provided. The lubrication system includes a chamber having a fluid inlet for receiving lubricating fluid into the chamber, and a fluid outlet for draining the lubricating fluid from the chamber. The fluid outlet is disposed on a wall defining part of the chamber. A rotor is disposed inside the chamber and interacts with the lubricating fluid inside the chamber. The rotor is rotatable in a rotation direction about a rotation axis. A perforated baffle is disposed in the chamber for interacting with the lubricating fluid inside the chamber. The perforated baffle includes a base attached to the wall of the chamber. The base of the perforated baffle is disposed at an angular position preceding the fluid outlet relative to the rotation direction of the rotor.

A system is provided with an ejector having an outer wall extending circumferentially about a flow path, wherein the outer wall has a throat section along the flow path, and a diverging section downstream from the throat section along the flow path. The ejector includes a gas inlet configured to supply a gas into the flow path, and a water inlet configured to supply water into the flow path. The ejector is configured to produce steam in response to mixing of the water and the gas along the flow path. The system also includes a controller configured to control flows of the gas and the water to produce the steam for a steam purge of a liquid fuel circuit.

A fuel system can include a first fuel circuit, a second fuel circuit, and an inert gas purge system operatively connected to both the first fuel circuit and the second fuel circuit to purge at least a portion of either or both of the first and/or second fuel circuit. The first fuel can be a liquid fuel and the second fuel can be a gaseous fuel. The first fuel circuit can include a first fuel manifold configured to fluidly communicate a first fuel supply with at least one dual fuel nozzles downstream of the first fuel manifold.
