Abstract
A bundled tube fuel nozzle includes a fuel distribution body. The fuel distribution body includes a substantially flat aft wall having an inner surface axially spaced from an outer surface, a fuel stem collar axially spaced from the inner surface of the aft wall and a contoured forward wall that extends between the fuel stem collar and the aft wall. The contoured forward wall and the aft wall define a fuel plenum within the fuel distribution body. The bundled tube fuel nozzle further includes a plurality of injector tubes that are in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. Each injector tube extends from the contoured forward wall to the aft wall within the fuel distribution body and defines a premix passage through the contoured forward, the fuel plenum and the aft wall.
