Summary: | A system for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes a fuel nozzle and a combustion chamber downstream from the fuel nozzle. A flow sleeve circumferentially surrounds the combustion chamber, and a plurality of fuel injectors are circumferentially arranged around the flow sleeve to provide fluid communication through the flow sleeve to the combustion chamber. A distribution manifold circumferentially surrounds the plurality of fuel injectors, and a fluid passage through the distribution manifold provides fluid communication through the distribution manifold to the plurality of fuel injectors. A method for supplying a working fluid to a combustor includes flowing a working fluid from a compressor through a combustion chamber and diverting a portion of the working fluid through a distribution manifold that circumferentially surrounds a plurality of fuel injectors circumferentially arranged around the combustion chamber. |
