Abstract

Gas turbine engine fuel nozzles are illustrated which induce swirling to fuel flowing to the engine to facilitate reducing fuel coking. Each fuel nozzle includes an inlet, an outlet and a fuel delivery system extending therebetween. The fuel delivery system includes an inner fuel supply tube and an outer fuel supply tube. The inner fuel supply tube is concentrically aligned within the outer fuel supply tube and includes contoured fuel passageways and a center axis of symmetry. As fuel enters the contoured passageways, the fuel is accelerated locally and directed angularly with respect to the axis of symmetry.
