Abstract
The orifice of the primary circuit on a dual circuit fuel nozzle for a combustor of a gas turbine engine is eccentrically located at the nozzle tip to inject fuel directly toward the prefilming surface of the air swirler and located in proximity to the igniter to enhance ignition. In another embodiment the fuel nozzles circumferentially spaced around the dome of the combustor include the eccentric orifice of the primary circuit to enhance lean blowout characteristics.
