Injector nose for turbomachine including a secondary fuel swirler with changing section
An injector nose for a turbomachine includes a primary fuel circuit terminated by a fuel ejection nozzle defining an injection axis (44), and a secondary fuel circuit (64) comprising a secondary fuel swirler (114) formed of swirler channels (112) opening into a terminal fuel ejection portion (68) of annular shape arranged around the fuel ejection nozzle. Each swirler channel (112) has a passage section which decreases in a direction going from an upstream end (111) to a downstream end (115) of the swirler channel (112). The reduction of the passage section of the swirler channels (112) makes it possible to increase the head loss between the inlet and the outlet of the secondary fuel swirler (114) and thus notably to accelerate the fuel within the secondary fuel swirler, while allowing lower fuel flow rates.
Fuel spray nozzle
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.
TAPERED FUEL GALLERY FOR A FUEL NOZZLE
A fuel injector is provided for a turbine engine. This fuel injector includes a fuel nozzle, and the fuel nozzle includes a gallery, one or more feed passages and a plurality of exit passages. The gallery extends within the fuel nozzle circumferentially around an axis between a first end of the gallery and a second end of the gallery. A size of the gallery changes as the gallery extends circumferentially around the axis between the first end of the gallery and the second end of the gallery. The one or more feed passages extend within the fuel nozzle to the gallery. The one or more feed passages are configured to supply fuel to the gallery. The exit passages extend within the fuel nozzle from the gallery. The exit passages are configured to receive the fuel from the gallery.
Burner cooling structures
A burner includes a main body having an outer surface and at least partially defining an interior. The main body further includes an upstream end axially spaced from a downstream end. The outer surface includes a burner front face at the downstream end of the main body. An annular cooling air plenum is defined in the main body radially inwardly from the outer surface. A cooling air passage extends from the outer surface to the annular cooling air plenum. A plurality of cooling channels is circumferentially spaced apart from one another along the burner front face. Each cooling channel of the plurality of cooling channels extends from a respective inlet in fluid communication with the annular cooling air plenum to a respective outlet.

Fuel injector assembly for a turbine engine
An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This apparatus includes a fuel conduit and a fuel nozzle. The fuel conduit includes a supply passage. The fuel nozzle includes a nozzle passage, an end wall and a nozzle orifice. The nozzle passage has a longitudinal centerline and extends longitudinally through the fuel nozzle along the longitudinal centerline from the end wall to the nozzle orifice. The nozzle passage is configured with a convergent portion and a throat portion. The nozzle passage converges radially inward towards the longitudinal centerline as the convergent portion extends longitudinally along the longitudinal centerline away from the end wall and towards the throat portion. The supply passage is fluidly coupled to the nozzle passage by a fuel aperture in the end wall. A centerline of the fuel aperture is angularly and laterally offset from the longitudinal centerline.
