Abstract
A fuel injection system for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel nozzle with a fuel injection aperture to inject a fuel jet and a multiple of airflow passages in the fuel nozzle to communicate a multiple of air streams to interact with the fuel jet.
Claims4
An augmentor section for a gas turbine engine comprising:
- a tubular case;
- a center body within the tubular case;
- an augmentor vane extending radially through an exhaust gas path of the gas turbine engine from the tubular case to the center body;
- a spraybar mounted within said augmentor vane;
- and
- a fuel injector mounted to said spraybar to communicate through said augmentor vane, wherein said fuel injector is configured to generate counter-rotating vortices;
- wherein the fuel injector comprises a first wall and a bottom wall transverse and perpendicular to the first wall, the first wall and the bottom wall at least partially form a fuel injector cavity, a first airflow passage and a second airflow passage extend through said first wall, and a fuel injection aperture extends through said bottom wall.
