1. A nozzle comprising:
a nozzle body having an upstream end and a downstream end aligned along a central axis includes:
a discharge portion being positioned adjacent the downstream end, an inwardly extending bore is formed at the downstream end and extends along the central axis over the length of the discharge portion;at least one opening formed in the nozzle body adjacent the discharge portion, the at least one opening being fluidly connected to an interior of the bore to provide an interior air flow passage;a main fuel conduit extending from the upstream end to the discharge portion; andat least one fuel flow branch extending through the discharge portion generally between the bore and an outer surface of the nozzle body, the fuel flow branch being fluidly coupled to the main fuel conduit to provide a fuel flow passage through the nozzle body, and an outer air cap positioned about the outer surface of the discharge portion of the nozzle body such that an outer air flow passage is formed between an interior of the outer air cap and the nozzle body, the fuel flow passage, the interior air flow passage, and the exterior air flow passage are configured to intersect near the downstream end of the nozzle body. |
