Abstract
A system for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes a fuel nozzle, a combustion chamber downstream from the fuel nozzle, and a plurality of fuel injectors circumferentially arranged around the combustion chamber. The plurality of fuel injectors provide fluid communication into the combustion chamber, and a separate cap for each fuel injector defines a separate volume around a different fuel injector outside of the combustion chamber.
