ABSTRACT:
An air fuel mixer having a mixing duct, a set of inner and outer counter-rotating swirlers at the upstream end of the mixing duct, and means for injecting fuel into the mixing duct is provided, wherein high pressure air from a compressor is injected into the mixing duct through the swirlers to form an intense shear region and fuel is injected into the mixing duct from the fuel nozzle by means of a plurality of non-linear fuel spokes so that the high pressure air and the fuel is uniformly mixed therein so as to produce minimal formation of pollutants when the fuel/air mixture is exhausted out the downstream end of said mixing duct into the combustor and ignited.
