[0059] Fuel is supplied to the first fuel supply cavity 2 and the second fuel supply cavity 6 by the upstream component, and CO2 is supplied to the first CO2 annular cavity 3 and the second CO2 annular cavity 5 by the upstream component; at the same time, air is transmitted from the compressor outlet and enters the air annular cavity 4.

[0060] The first part of the CO2 in the first CO2 annular cavity 3 enters the air annular cavity 4 through the first delivery hole 7 and is mixed with the air in the initial mixing area 22. The second part of the CO2 in the first CO2 annular cavity 3 enters the second intermediate annular cavity 9 through the delivery channel 8 and is ejected from the second injection annular gap 20.

[0061] The first portion of fuel in the first fuel supply chamber 2 enters the first intermediate annular chamber 11 through the fuel distribution holes 10. The second portion of fuel is directly discharged into the flame tube through the fuel jet channel 19. The fuel in the first intermediate annular chamber 11 is divided into two paths. One path enters the chamber of the swirler 13 blades through the second delivery hole 12. From there, it is transferred through the supply holes 14 on the blades to the air annular chamber 4. In the primary mixing zone 23, it mixes with the air and CO2 transmitted from the initial mixing zone 22 and flows downstream. The other path exits through the first fuel jet hole 16 at the end of the first intermediate annular chamber 11.

[0062] All the CO2 in the second CO2 annular cavity 5 is discharged from the first injection annular gap 15 at its end, mixed with the air, CO2 and fuel from the main mixing zone 23 in the fluid nozzle mixing zone 24, and flows downstream.

[0063] A portion of the fuel in the second fuel supply chamber 6 is discharged through the second fuel jet orifice 17 at the distal end, while the remainder is discharged through the third fuel jet orifice 18 at the distal end. The fuel from the second fuel jet orifice 17 collides and mixes with the fuel from the first fuel jet orifice 16 at the combustor nozzle outlet. The mixing location is in the middle of the annular outlet of the air annulus 4, enhancing mixing uniformity. Simultaneously, the fuel jet from the third fuel jet orifice 18 is directly transmitted to the fairing 21, where it changes direction. In the final mixing zone 25, it is rapidly and evenly mixed with the air, CO2, and fuel from the fluid nozzle mixing zone 24, the fuel from the second fuel jet orifice 17 and the first fuel jet orifice 16, and the CO2 from the second injection annular gap 20. The fuel is then ignited and burned by the igniter, resulting in a flame located downstream of the combustor nozzle outlet.

[0064] The fuel jet channel 19 injects directly into the flame tube from the center of the combustion chamber nozzle. Based on the Bernoulli principle, this increases the average propagation velocity of the mixed gas. The first injection annular slit 15 utilizes a CO2 gas jet to form a fluid nozzle. This not only adjusts the effective area ratio of the nozzle and increases the average propagation velocity of the mixed gas, but also increases the average specific heat of the mixed gas, lowering the temperature of the combustible mixed gas, suppressing the rate of increase in the flame radius, and reducing the flame propagation velocity. Similarly, because the second injection annular slit 20 is located in the expansion portion of the convergent section, i.e., the rear section of the second CO2 annular cavity 5 is provided with an expansion-shaped annular cavity corresponding to the conical section, it can both increase the average propagation velocity of the mixed gas and adjust the effective area ratio of the nozzle. The distributed mixing zone can gradually increase the ratio of fuel and CO2 in the mixed gas until the designed equivalence ratio of premixed combustion is reached in the final mixing zone 25, thereby causing the flame to settle in the downstream area of ​​the nozzle outlet. Therefore, the invention can increase the average propagation speed of the mixed gas in the combustion chamber nozzle to make it higher than the flame propagation speed, prevent backfire, and at the same time station the flame downstream of the nozzle outlet to make it burn stably. Even if a short backfire occurs due to some uncontrollable reasons, the backfire will be stopped because the equivalence ratio of the mixed gas upstream of the last-stage mixing zone 25 does not meet the combustion requirements and the dilution effect and physical barrier effect of the CO2 ejected from the first injection annular gap 15, thereby protecting the safety of the gas turbine components.

[0065] The present invention, based on a combination of CO2 blending, fluid nozzle regulation, and dispersed blending zones, enables gas turbines to safely and stably premix and combust gaseous fuels. The principle is that CO2 has a high specific heat, which increases the average specific heat of the mixture, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the combustible mixture, inhibiting the rate of increase in the flame radius and reducing the flame propagation speed. The use of a fluid nozzle adjusts the effective area ratio of the nozzle, increasing the average propagation speed of the mixture. The dispersed blending zones gradually increase the fuel ratio in the mixture, achieving the designed equivalence ratio for premixed combustion in the final blending zone, and allowing the combustion flame to settle downstream of the nozzle outlet. Therefore, the above provides a triple guarantee for gas turbine combustion, preventing backfire and ensuring safe and stable operation of the gas turbine. Furthermore, the dilution effect of CO2 effectively reduces flame temperature, reduces the generation of thermal nitrogen oxides, and protects the environment.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
