Abstract (en)

A system (60) for operating a combustor (10) includes a nozzle (14) and a fuel passage (30, 32) and diluent passage (42) through the nozzle (14). A fuel supply (62, 64) is in fluid communication with the fuel inlet (34, 38) and the diluent inlet (46), and a diluent supply (66) is in fluid communication with the diluent inlet (46). A method for operating a combustor (10) includes flowing a fuel through a fuel inlet (34, 38) in a nozzle (14) and flowing a diluent through a diluent inlet (46) in the nozzle (14). The method further includes sensing an operating parameter of the combustor (10), generating a signal reflective of the operating parameter, and controlling a flow of the fuel to the diluent inlet (46) based on the signal reflective of the operating parameter.
