ABSTRACT:
A combustor in which fuel is introduced into a combustion zone at a first acute angle with respect to the radially outward direction so as to swirl the fuel about the combustor axis, thereby improving the stability of the combustion process. Combustion air is introduced into the combustion zone at a second acute angle with respect to the radially inward direction so as to swirl the air about the combustor axis in the same circumferential direction that the fuel is swirled, with the first and second acute angles being approximately equal. By swirling the combustion air in a manner that is compatible with the swirling of the fuel, noise associated with the combustion process is reduced.
