Abstract
A premix fuel nozzle and method of operation for use in a gas turbine combustor is disclosed. The premix fuel nozzle utilizes a fin assembly comprising a plurality of radially extending fins for injection of fuel and compressed air in order to provide a more uniform injection pattern. The fuel and compressed air mixes upstream of the combustion chamber and flows into the combustion chamber as a homogeneous mixture. The premix fuel nozzle includes a plurality of coaxial passages, which provide fuel and compressed air to the fin assembly, as well as compressed air to cool the nozzle cap assembly.
