NOZZLE, GAS TURBINE COMBUSTOR AND GAS TURBINE

A pilot nozzle, a gas turbine combustor and a gas turbine are provided with: a nozzle main body (71) having a fuel passage way (72); a covering (75) that forms an interior air passageway (78) by being positioned so as to form a predetermined gap in the external section of the front edge of the peripheral portion of a nozzle main body (71) and is capable of spraying air towards the front end of the nozzle main body (71); a plurality of nozzle tips (80) having a fuel spray nozzle (81) communicating with the fuel passage way (72) and is attached to the edge section of the covering (75) in a circumferential direction at predetermined intervals and capable of spraying fuel to the exterior portion of the blast air from the interior air passageway (78); and a torque add-on applicator that adds torque to the air passing through the interior air passageway (78). Thus, the air quantity to be cooled and the velocity distribution within the pilot cone can be controlled to achieve a steady combustion process.
