Turbine engine with fuel nozzle

Abstract

A turbine engine can burn fuel to drive a turbine, and the turbine drives the engine. The fuel nozzle may supply fuel for combustion or ignition of the fuel. The fuel nozzle may include a center body defining a first fuel passage terminating in a first orifice. The annular first wall circumferentially surrounds and is spaced apart from the center body to define a first airflow passage therebetween. A set of first swirler vanes are spaced circumferentially around the center body and disposed within the first airflow channel. The fuel nozzle may supply a mixture of fuel and air for combustion.
