Abstract
An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a monolithic body. The monolithic body includes a splash plate and a fuel nozzle. The splash plate includes a splash plate surface. The fuel nozzle includes a nozzle orifice. The fuel nozzle is configured to direct fuel out of the nozzle orifice to impinge against the splash plate surface.

An apparatus for a turbine engine, comprising:
- a monolithic body including a splash plate and a fuel nozzle;
- the splash plate including a splash plate surface;
- and
- the fuel nozzle including a nozzle orifice, the fuel nozzle configured to direct fuel out of the nozzle orifice to impinge against the splash plate surface.

An apparatus for a turbine engine, comprising:
- a structure including a fluid passage, the structure configured to direct an axial fluid flow through the fluid passage;
- a fuel nozzle including a nozzle orifice;
- and
- a splash plate arranged within the fluid passage and including a splash plate surface;
- the fuel nozzle configured to direct fuel out of the nozzle orifice to impinge against the splash plate surface, and the splash plate configured to disperse the fuel that impinges against the splash plate surface into the axial fluid flow.
2 more elements
An apparatus for a turbine engine, comprising:
- a fuel nozzle including a nozzle orifice;
- and
- a splash plate including a splash plate surface spaced from the fuel nozzle;
- the fuel nozzle configured to direct a fuel jet out of the nozzle orifice along a fuel jet trajectory to the splash plate surface, and the splash plate configured to disperse fuel from the fuel jet in a radial outward pattern;
- and
- the splash plate surface angularly offset from the fuel jet trajectory by an acute angle.
