Dynamics-mitigating adapter for bundled tube fuel nozzle
A combustor having bundled tube fuel nozzles is provided. At least one of the fuel nozzles has a dynamics-mitigating adapter removably coupled thereto. The adapter includes a mounting body defining at least one flow passage aligned with an inlet of at least one tube of the at least one fuel nozzle. The at least one flow passage extends an axial length of the at least one tube. The adapter may include extenders aligned with each tube of the fuel nozzle, and the extenders may have identical or different lengths. Adapters may be used for each fuel nozzle of the combustor. The mounting body may be a monolithic unit through which the flow passages are defined or may include a plurality of extenders affixed to and extending upstream of the mounting body.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADDITION OF FUEL ADDITIVES TO CONTROL TURBINE CORROSION
A system comprises a gas turbine engine including a compressor, combustor, gas turbine, the combustor including a plurality of late lean fuel injectors; and wash system configured to be attached to and in fluid communication with the a plurality of late lean fuel injectors of the combustor. The wash system includes a water source supplying water; a first fluid source supplying a first fluid; a mixing chamber in communication with the water source and first fluid source; a water pump to pump water to the mixing chamber; a first fluid pump to pump the first fluid to the mixing chamber; a fluid line in fluid communication with the mixing chamber and at least one of the plurality of late lean fuel injectors so fluid from the mixing chamber is injected into the combustor at late lean fuel injectors. The wash system is operated with the gas turbine engine off-line.
METHOD FOR MOUNTING COMBUSTOR COMPONENT, COMBUSTOR COMPONENT SET, HANGING JIG, AND HANGING JIG SET
In this method for mounting a combustor component, a component hanging step for attaching a string material to a hanging jig mounted on a combustor component and hanging the combustor component with the string material together with the hanging jig, and a component mounting step for mounting a mounting flange of the combustor component at a combustor mounting position of a gas turbine casing are executed. The hanging jig has a hanging tool having a portion which becomes a suspension point contacted by the string material when the string material is attached and hanging the combustor component. The suspension point is positioned on the distal end side of the center of gravity of the combustor component in the combustor axial line direction when the hanging jig has been mounted to the mounting flange.
RESONATOR RING FOR COMBUSTION CHAMBER SYSTEMS
A resonator formed as a ring for a gas turbine combustion chamber, includes an outer shell and an inner shell, wherein one part of a hot gas channel of the gas turbine combustion chamber is delimited by the inner shell, wherein at least one Helmholtz resonator is arranged between the outer shell and the inner shell.

Combustor and gas turbine including the same
A combustor includes a liner having an outlet end to pass combustion gas and a liner flange protruding outward from the outlet end; a transition piece to discharge combustion gas from the liner to a turbine, the transition piece having an inlet end for coupling to the outlet end of the liner and a transition piece flange protruding outward from the inlet end to face the liner flange; and a first elastic support installed on the liner flange to protrude toward the transition piece flange. A force applied from the transition piece elastically deforms an elastic arch of the first elastic support, which includes a movable support that is spaced apart from the liner flange if the force applied from the transition piece does not primarily deform the elastic arch. An auxiliary elastic support installed inside the first elastic support elastically deforms if the force secondarily deforms the elastic arch.
