Title: Combustor with axially staged fuel injection

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1651054

A combustor with axially staged fuel injection includes a plurality of nozzle segments annularly arranged about a center fuel nozzle. Each nozzle segment includes a fuel plenum partially defined between a forward plate and an aft plate and a plurality of tubes that extends through the fuel plenum and the aft plate. A panel fuel injector extends axially downstream from the aft plate and includes an outer wall, an inner wall, a plurality of outlets defined along at least one of the outer wall and the inner wall and a plurality of premix channels defined between the outer wall and the inner wall. Each premix channel is in fluid communication with a fuel supply, a compressed air supply and a respective outlet of the plurality of outlets.
