COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A TURBINE ENGINE AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING SAME

摘要

A combustor assembly that includes a combustor liner having a centerline axis and defining a combustion chamber there within. A plurality of fuel nozzles extends through the combustion liner. An annular flowsleeve is coupled radially outward from the combustor liner such that an annular flow path is defined between the flowsleeve and the combustor liner. The flowsleeve includes a forward surface that extends between an upper endwall and a lower endwall. The upper endwall is positioned a first distance from the plurality of fuel nozzles. The lower endwall is positioned a second distance from the plurality of fuel nozzles that is different than the first distance.
