ABSTRACT:
The present application provides a liner for a combustor. The combustor liner may include a mouth, a passage for a flow of fuel, a passage for a flow of air, a first zone for mixing the flow of fuel and the flow of air, and the first zone having a constant diameter. The combustor liner may have at least one transition zone with first and second side walls angled substantially in the same direction, and an off center exit. This configuration will provide a more stable flow when exiting the combustor liner.
