Abstract
A transition piece body, having an inlet end for receiving combustion products from a turbine combustor and an outlet end for flowing the gaseous products into a first stage nozzle, has dilution holes in zones respectively adjacent the transition piece body inlet and outlet ends. The volume of dilution air flowing into the gas stream is substantially equal at the inlet and outlet ends of the transition piece. The locations and sizes of the openings are given in the respective X, Y, Z coordinates and hole diameters in Table I. The X and Y coordinates lie in the circular plane of the transition body at its inlet end and the Z coordinates extend in the direction of gas flow from the origin.
