Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a system with a gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine includes a first combustor having a first fuel injector and a second combustor having a second fuel injector. The gas turbine engine further includes a first fuel conduit extending from a first orifice to a first fuel outlet of the first fuel injector. The first fuel conduit has a first acoustic volume between the first orifice and the first fuel outlet. The gas turbine engine further includes a second fuel conduit extending from a second orifice to a second fuel outlet of the second fuel injector. The second fuel conduit has a second acoustic volume between the second orifice and the second fuel outlet, and the first acoustic volume and the second acoustic volume are different from one another.

Abstract: A turbomachine including a combustor in which fuel is combustible to produce a working fluid, a turbine section, which is receptive of the working fluid for power generation operations, a transition piece in which additional fuel is combustible, the transition piece being disposed to transport the working fluid from the combustor to the turbine section and a staged combustion system coupled to the combustor and the transition piece. The staged combustion system is configured to blend components of the fuel and the additional fuel in multiple modes.

Abstract: A gas turbine prime mover for stationary and motor vehicle application. The gas turbine employs jet compression energized by a pressurized motive fluid to entrain a depressurized suction fluid from the turbine discharge. Combined suction and motive fluids circulate through the combustor or other heating source and the turbine while motive fluid, separated from the turbine discharge, preheats pressurized motive fluid in a heat recovery recuperator or regenerator. Additional features include recovery of heat loss from heating source loss and sub-ambient compression cooling of motive fluid. Cycle efficiency of 70% is attained.
Abstract: A steam generation system comprises: an oxygenated water treatment (OWT) sub-system configured to generate water having oxidizing chemistry; a steam generation sub-system configured to convert the water having oxidizing chemistry into steam having oxidizing chemistry; an attemperator or other injection device or devices configured to add an oxygen scavenger to the steam having oxidizing chemistry to generate steam having less oxidizing or reducing chemistry; and a condenser configured to condense the steam having less oxidizing or reducing chemistry into condensed water.
Abstract: A method for assembling a gas turbine combustor system is provided. The method includes providing a combustion liner including a center axis, an outer wall, a first end, and a second end. The outer wall is orientated substantially parallel to the center axis. The method also includes coupling a transition piece to the liner second end. The transition piece includes an outer wall. The method further includes coupling a plurality of lean-direct injectors along at least one of the liner outer wall and the transition piece outer wall such that the injectors are spaced axially apart along the wall.
