A mixer for use in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine. The mixer includes an annular housing having an upstream end, a downstream end, a mount for attaching the housing to an upstream end of the combustion chamber, and an interior surface defining a hollow interior. The mixer also has a first swirler mounted inside the annular housing including a plurality of vanes extending inward from the housing for swirling air traveling through the housing. In addition, the mixer includes an annular fuel injector having a plurality of fuel injection ports arranged in a generally circular pattern mounted inside the first swirler for releasing droplets of fuel into swirling air downstream from the fuel injector. Further, the mixer has a second swirler mounted inside the fuel injector including a plurality of vanes extending inward from the injector for swirling air traveling through the housing downstream from the fuel injector.
A mixer for use in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine, said mixer comprising:
A mixer for use in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine, said mixer comprising:
A mixer for use in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine, said mixer comprising an annular housing having an upstream end, a downstream end opposite said upstream end, an interior surface surrounding an axial centerline and defining a hollow interior, and a plurality of fuel injection ports surrounding the axial centerline for delivering droplets of fuel to the hollow interior of the mixer, each of said plurality of fuel injection ports having a centerline extending generally parallel to the axial centerline of the mixer housing.
