Gas turbine engineand method thereof for reducing nonvolatile particulate matter emissions

A gas turbine engine has a first subset of fuel spray nozzles and a second subset of fuel spray nozzles. A combustor is operable with the first subset of fuel spray nozzles supplied with fuel at a greater fuel flow rate than each the second subset of fuel spray nozzles. A a ratio of the first subset of fuel spray nozzles to the second subset of fuel spray nozzles is 1:2 to 1:5. A first idle-MTO nvPM emissions index ratio is:EIidleEImaxTOwhere: EIidle is the system loss corrected nvPM emissions index in mg / kg operating at around 7% available thrust; and EImaxTO is the system loss corrected nvPM emissions index in mg / kg operating at around 100% available thrust; and the first idle-MTO nvPM emissions index ratio of the gas turbine engine is less than 60. A sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) can be provided to the fuel spray nozzles.
