Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2657608A2] A combustor includes an end cap (52) that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the end cap (52) comprises an upstream surface (64) axially separated from a downstream surface (66). A shroud (68) circumferentially surrounds at least a portion of the end cap (52), wherein the shroud (68) at least partially defines a fuel plenum (70) between the upstream surface (64) and the downstream surface (66). A combustion chamber (38) downstream from the end cap (52) defines a longitudinal axis. A plurality of tubes (50) extend from the upstream surface (64) through the downstream surface (66) of the end cap (52) to provide fluid communication through the end cap (52) to the combustion chamber (38). A transition duct (40) circumferentially surrounds at least a portion of the combustion chamber (38) downstream from the end cap (52) and curves tangentially from the longitudinal axis.
