How many fuel nozzles does the compressor rear stage have?

The compressor rear stage typically contains 30 fuel nozzles, which are critical for ensuring an efficient and effective fuel-air mixture for combustion within the gas turbine. This configuration allows for optimal dispersion of fuel in the combustion chamber, leading to better ignition, stable combustion, and improved overall engine performance. Fuel nozzles are designed to atomize fuel into fine droplets, maximizing the contact area with air and facilitating efficient combustion. Having 30 nozzles reflects a balance that supports the engine's thrust requirements while ensuring operational reliability and efficiency.
