Abstract
A system includes at least one component of a turbine section. The at least one component includes an inert gas port formed into a wall of the at least one component. The inert gas port is configured to inject an inert gas into a chamber of the turbine section in a downstream direction. The at least one component also includes a fuel port formed into the wall upstream of the inert gas part. The fuel port is configured to inject a fuel in the downstream direction toward the injected inert gas. The inert gas causes the injected fuel to be lifted away from the surface of the wall and propelled into the hot gas flow path, where the fuel can be ignited by the combustion gases to increase gas turbine engine efficiency and performance.
