  • Method and apparatus to facilitate reducing NOemissions in turbine engines
    Patent number: 7900457
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a combustor liner for a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes providing an annular shell including a plurality of circumferentially extending panels, wherein the plurality of circumferentially extending panels includes a first panel positioned at an upstream end of the shell and a second panel positioned downstream from, and adjacent to, the first panel. The method also includes forming a plurality of primary dilution holes in the first panel and forming a plurality of secondary dilution holes in the second panel, wherein the primary and secondary dilution holes are configured to discharge dilution air into the shell.
