ABSTRACT:
A method for providing a gas turbine engine and a combustor having a more uniform fluid flow is disclosed. For a combustor end cover, individual nozzle flow rates are determined and nozzles positioned on an end cover such that each nozzle injects substantially the same amount of fluid as an adjacent nozzle. As a result, gas temperature variations within the combustor are reduced and combustion dynamics lowered. For a gas turbine engine utilizing a plurality of combustors, individual end cover flow rates are determined and end covers positioned on each combustor relative to the supply inlet of the engine such that each end cover is supplied with a substantially similar flow rate. Other factors including pressure loss and fluid temperature changes are taken into consideration when determining nozzle and end cover positions.
