    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the operation and turndown of a segmented annular combustion system. The method includes injecting, via a fuel nozzle, a combustible mixture into a primary combustion zone between an adjacent pair of integrated combustor nozzles and burning the combustible mixture. The method further includes flowing air and injecting fuel into a premixing channel defined within a first integrated combustor nozzle to produce a second combustible mixture. The second combustible mixture is injected into a secondary combustion zone where it is combusted. The flow of combustion gases is accelerated, via turbine nozzles of the integrated combustor nozzles, toward turbine blades of a downstream turbine section. The method permits turndown of the combustion system by reducing or shutting off fuel to various components of the combustion system.

    Abstract: A segmented annular combustion system includes integrated combustor nozzles, each of which has a fuel injection panel disposed radially between an inner liner segment and an outer liner segment. The fuel injection panel includes an aft end portion, a first side wall, a second side wall, premixing channels defined between the first side wall and the side wall, and injection outlets defined along at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall. The aft end portion defines a turbine nozzle portion. An interior portion between the first side wall and the second side wall includes walls that extend between the first and second side walls, thereby partitioning the interior portion into discrete air cavities. The air cavities and the liner segments may be cooled by impingement inserts or panels.
