DRIVE
May 1, 2013
A system includes a mixing assembly (50) configured to mix a liquid fuel (42) and a water (15) to generate a fuel mixture (80). The fuel mixture (80) is configured to combust in a combustor (16) of a gas turbine (11). The mixing assembly (50) includes a liquid fuel passage (70) disposed in an integrated housing. The liquid fuel passage (70) is configured to flow the liquid fuel (42) and to exclude liquid traps. The mixing assembly (50) also includes a water passage (74) disposed in the integrated housing. The water passage (74) is configured to flow the water (15) and to exclude liquid traps. The mixing assembly (50) also includes a mixer (78) disposed in the integrated housing (150) and coupled to the liquid fuel passage (70) and the water passage (74). The mixer (78) is configured to mix the liquid fuel (42) and the water (15) to form the fuel mixture (80).
