Abstract: A combustor of a gas turbine engine is provided with a first injector and a second injector. The first injector surrounds a combustion liner and is positioned at a downstream end of a flow sleeve. A dome plate is positioned to receive a fuel/air mixture from the first injector and turn it 180 degrees to enter a combustion zone formed within the combustion liner. The second injector is positioned radially inward of the combustion liner at an inlet end of the combustion zone and receives only compressed air from the first injector. The second injector includes a plurality of air/fuel mixing tubes divided into radially outer and radially inner subsets of air/fuel mixing tubes with a first fuel manifold in fluid communication with the radially outer subset of air/fuel mixing tubes and a second fuel manifold in fluid communication with the radially inner subset of air/fuel mixing tubes.

Abstract: An injector for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is provided with a plurality of air/fuel mixing tubes divided into radially outer and radially inner subsets of air/fuel mixing tubes with a first fuel manifold in fluid communication with the radially outer subset of air/fuel mixing tubes and a second fuel manifold in fluid communication with the radially inner subset of air/fuel mixing tubes. A static air plenum surrounds each of the air/fuel mixing tubes to thermally isolate the air/fuel mixing tube from the respective fuel manifold.

A blocker is provided at an outlet portion of each of the air/fuel mixing tubes of the radially outer subset of air/fuel mixing tubes and/or the radially inner subset of air/fuel mixing tubes to form a flame anchoring surface.

Each of the air/fuel mixing tubes of the radially outer subset of air/fuel mixing tubes includes a substantially quadrilateral cross-sectional profile, and each of the air/fuel mixing tubes of the radially inner subset of air/fuel mixing tubes includes a substantially circular cross-sectional profile.
