Abstract
A gas turbine engine ( ) includes a catalytic oxidation module ( ). The catalytic oxidation module includes a pressure boundary element ( ); a catalytic surface ( ); and an opening ( ) in the pressure boundary element to allow premixing of the fluids before the fluids enter a downstream plenum. In an embodiment, the pressure boundary element includes a catalyst-coated tube ( ) having holes ( ) formed therein to allow mixing across the tube. In another embodiment, the pressure boundary element includes a tubesheet ( ) having a first fluid passageway intersecting a second fluid passageway to premix the fluids upstream of the outlet end of the tubesheet. In yet another embodiment, the catalytic oxidation module includes an upstream tubesheet ( ) for mounting a tube inlet end ( ) and a downstream tubesheet ( ) for mounting a tube outlet end ( ) so that the tube is slidably contained there between.
