Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a combustor and a turbine. The combustor includes a pre-mixer having a body defining a plurality of fluid passages extending axially through the pre-mixer, wherein a cross-sectional projection of each of the plurality of fluid passages comprises one or more features that form a helical coil about an axis of the fluid passage along a length of the fluid passage, wherein the pre-mixer is configured to receive fuel from a fuel supply, receive air from an air supply, mix the fuel and air by flowing the fuel and air through the plurality of fluid passages, and imparting a swirling motion on the fuel and air, and supply the air-fuel mixture to a combustion zone. The combustor is configured to combust the air-fuel mixture, generating combustion fluids. The turbine is configured to receive the combustion fluids from the combustor and to use the combustion fluids to drive one or more stages of the turbine.

Abstract: A turbine engine assembly including a rotating detonation combustor configured to combust a fuel-air mixture. The rotating detonation combustor includes a radially inner side wall, a radially outer side wall extending about the radially inner side wall such that an annular combustion chamber is at least partially defined therebetween, and a cooling conduit extending along at least one of the radially inner side wall or the radially outer side wall. The assembly also includes a first compressor configured to discharge a flow of cooling air towards the rotating detonation combustor, and to channel the flow of cooling air through the cooling conduit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fuel-air premixer for a turbine system. The fuel-air premixer includes a swirler and a centerbody. The swirler is configured to direct a flow of air through the premixer, and the centerbody is configured to inject fuel into the flow of air. Additionally, the centerbody includes an airfoil shape that reduces and/or substantially eliminates recirculation pockets to prevent autoignition and/or flame holding in a combustion chamber. Accordingly, the turbine system may produce fewer NOx emissions.

Abstract: A fuel nozzle assembly includes a centerbody including an outer wall. The outer wall defines a plurality of fuel injection apertures. The fuel injection apertures include a first portion of the plurality of fuel injection apertures configured to induce a first fuel flow rate. The fuel injection apertures also include a second portion of the plurality of fuel injection apertures configured to induce a second fuel flow rate. The second fuel flow rate is less than the first fuel flow rate.

Abstract: A turbine engine assembly including a rotating detonation combustor configured to combust a fuel-air mixture formed at least partially from a primary fuel including methane. The assembly also includes a fuel reformer configured to produce a secondary fuel, wherein the fuel reformer is further configured to channel a flow of secondary fuel towards the rotating detonation combustor such that the fuel-air mixture further includes the secondary fuel.
