Abstract

A gas turbine engine power plant employing a water injection system having a water/fuel mixing device for injecting water into the engine fuel as it is conducted to the engine combustion chambers. The water/fuel mixing device employs a fuel conduit with a helical arrangement of water injection apertures for injecting water jets through the fuel to impinge upon the inside wall of the conduit and mix homogeneously with the fuel.
