The exit section includes a plurality of jets on an exit surface. The combustor further includes a combustion zone, including a combustion liner, disposed downstream and in fluidic communication with the combustion nozzle. The combustor is configured wherein a, NOx emission of the combustor is related to 1/R, where R is a Reynolds number ratio of a jet of the plurality of jets to the combustion liner. A method for achieving NOx reduction in a combustion nozzle.
