Methods and apparatus for injecting fluids into a turbine engine

摘要

A method facilitates operating a gas turbine engine (10). The method comprises supplying steam to a nozzle (50), supplying primary fuel to the nozzle, discharging the steam into a combustor (16) from a plurality of circumferentially-spaced steam outlets (106) defined in a tip (100) of the nozzle, and discharging the primary fuel into the combustor from at least one outlet (104) that is spaced circumferentially between the steam outlets.
