Abstract
A method for delivering fuel to a combustor of a gas turbine engine includes: injecting fuel into a conduit of a fuel manifold; directing the fuel through a continuous first portion of the conduit; directing the fluid from the first portion into an inflexion of the conduit being a single exit of the first portion; directing the fuel from the inflexion into a second portion of the conduit in serial flow communication with the first portion; and carrying the fuel in the second portion in a direction different from that of the fuel in the first portion. As the fuel flows through the second portion of the conduit, the fuel exits from the second portion of the conduit into a plurality of fuel injection nozzles in exclusive fluid flow communication with the second portion for ejection into a combustor of the gas turbine engine.
