A burner assembly includes a plurality of burners for mixing fuel and air. Each of the plurality of burners includes: a fuel nozzle for injecting the fuel; a mixing passage supplied with the fuel and the air; and a support portion connecting a passage wall of the mixing passage and the fuel nozzle to support the fuel nozzle.

A turbine engine and associated methods for a combustor as shown and described. The turbine engine including a combustor with a combustor liner having dilution openings and a geometry that changes along an axial direction. The combustor further having a baffle surrounding a combustor liner defining a combustion chamber of the combustor. A method for controlling nitrogen oxides within the combustor, including injecting compressed air into the annular combustion chamber through any of the dilution openings described herein.

A turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. The combustion section can include a combustor liner, a dome assembly coupled to the combustor liner, a fuel nozzle fluidly coupled to the dome assembly, a combustion chamber fluidly coupled to the fuel nozzle, and at least one set of dilution openings located in the dome assembly or combustor liner that fluidly couple to the combustion chamber. A swirler can define at least one passage extending between at least one annular entrance and at least one annular exit, wherein the at least one annular entrance is fluidly coupled to the compressor section. A variable area device is movable relative to the at least one set of dilution openings or at least a portion of the swirler.

A combustor nozzle using fuel containing hydrogen, a combustor and gas turbine including the same are provided. The nozzle for a combustor configured to burn fuel containing hydrogen includes a fuel supply duct including a plurality of injection tubes through which air and fuel flow and a fuel passage through which fuel flows, a plurality of swirlers formed on a side surface of each of the plurality of injection tubes to guide air outside the injection tube to be introduced thereinto for swirling, and a plurality of fuel inlet holes formed radially through the injection tube to communicate with the fuel passage and allow fuel to flow through the fuel passage to the injection tube.

A turbine engine can include a compressor section, a combustion section, and a turbine section in serial flow arrangement. The combustion section can include a combustor with a fuel premixer. The fuel premixer can include an annular shroud defining an interior, a center body located within the interior, and an annular swirler located within the interior.

An engine can utilize a combustor to combust fuel to drive the engine. A fuel nozzle assembly can supply fuel to the combustor for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle assembly can include a swirler and a fuel nozzle to supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion. Varying the geometry of the swirler can provide for improved supply of air, which can improve efficiency and flame control.

Systems and methods include a plurality of fuel cell stacks extended around a combustion chamber. The plurality of fuel cell stacks are distributed along a length of the combustion chamber in the axial direction. The fuel cell stacks are configured to provide output products to the combustion chamber to achieve at least one of late lean injection and a desired combustor gas concentration distribution.

Systems and methods including a reformer stack extended around a combustion chamber. The reformer stack is configured to provide output products to the combustion chamber.

A burner comprises: at least one mixing tube extending inside a fuel plenum and having an interior configured to be supplied with an air; and a plurality of fuel injection holes for injecting a fuel supplied to the fuel plenum into the interior of the at least one mixing tube. When the at least one mixing tube is viewed in an axial direction of the mixing tube, a central axis of each of the plurality of fuel injection holes is oblique in a same direction with respect to a circumferential direction of the mixing tube, to a radial direction of the mixing tube.

A mixer for blending fuel and air in a combustor of a turbine engine. The mixer includes a central body having a central passageway and a central axis. The mixer includes a plurality of tubes positioned radially around the central axis and circumferentially around a periphery of the mixer. Each of the tubes of the mixer includes opposed openings and a tangential opening. Each of the tubes of the mixer includes a cylindrical interior mixing passage configured to receive air flow from the opposed openings and the tangential opening and a fuel flow. The opposed openings are configured to spread the fuel flow laterally and the tangential opening is configured to spread the fuel flow tangentially.
