Abstract
A nozzle tip for a premix fuel nozzle includes an outer body having an outer body external face facing the downstream end of the burner tube, the outer body external face having a smaller cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the burner tube; and at least one segment radiating radially outwardly toward the internal wall of the burner tube from the outer body, wherein each segment has a proximal end disposed adjacent to the outer body external face and a distal end disposed in a direction toward the burner tube, wherein each segment has a segment downstream face angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the burner tube towards the downstream end of the burner tube. When the gas turbine is in operation, an axial flow field of an air and fuel mixture flows through the burner tube and around the nozzle tip, and two or more recirculation zones of differing radial extent are generated on the nozzle tip by the segments to provide strong flame holding and flame propagation.
