More Information
Summary:A combustor (10) includes a casing (12) that encloses at least a portion of the combustor (10). A fuel conduit (60) extends downstream from the casing (12) and includes a tortuous path for fuel flow inside the fuel conduit (60). A method for supplying fuel to a combustor (10) includes flowing a working fluid (14) through tubes (34) that extend axially through an end cap (20). The method further includes supplying a fuel through a fuel conduit (60) into the end cap (20), supplying a diluent through a diluent conduit (62) that extends axially inside the fuel conduit (60), and swirling the fuel flowing through the fuel conduit (60) around the diluent flowing through the diluent conduit (62).
