A system for reducing combustion dynamics in a combustor includes an end cap having an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface, and tube bundles extend through the end cap. A diluent supply in fluid communication with the end cap provides diluent flow to the end cap. Diluent distributors circumferentially arranged inside at least one tube bundle extend downstream from the downstream surface and provide fluid communication for the diluent flow through the end cap. A method for reducing combustion dynamics in a combustor includes flowing fuel through tube bundles that extend axially through an end cap, flowing a diluent through diluent distributors into a combustion chamber, wherein the diluent distributors are circumferentially arranged inside at least one tube bundle and each diluent distributor extends downstream from the end cap, and forming a diluent barrier in the combustion chamber between at least one pair of adjacent tube bundles.

1. A system for reducing combustion dynamics in a combustor, comprising: a. an end cap that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the end cap comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface;b. a plurality of premixing tube bundles that extends from the upstream surface through the downstream surface of the end cap, wherein each premixing tube bundle provides fluid communication through the end cap for providing fuel and air to the combustor;c. a diluent supply source in fluid communication with the end cap, wherein the diluent supply source provides diluent flow to the end cap; andd. a plurality of first diluent distributors circumferentially arranged inside at least one tube bundle, wherein each first diluent distributor extends downstream from the downstream surface and provides fluid communication for the diluent flow through the downstream surface of the end cap. 2. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of diluent ports circumferentially arranged around more than one tube bundle, wherein the diluent ports provide fluid communication for the diluent flow through the downstream surface of the end cap. 3. The system as in claim 1, wherein each first diluent distributor comprises a plurality of injectors that provides fluid communication through the first diluent distributor. 4. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a thermal barrier coating on each first diluent distributor. 5. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a divider between at least one pair of adjacent tube bundles, wherein the divider defines a diluent passage that extends axially through the downstream surface. 6. The system as in claim 5, further comprising a plurality of second diluent distributors in fluid communication with the diluent passage defined by the divider, wherein each second diluent distributor extends downstream from the downstream surface and provides fluid communication for the diluent flow through the downstream surface of the end cap. 7. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a fuel supply in fluid communication with each tube bundle, wherein the fuel supply is substantially concentric with the diluent supply. 8. A system for reducing combustion dynamics in a combustor, comprising: a. an end cap that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the end cap comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface;b. a plurality of premixing tube bundles that extends from the upstream surface through the downstream surface of the end cap, wherein each tube bundle provides fluid communication through the end cap for providing fuel and air to the combustor;c. a diluent supply source in fluid communication with the end cap, wherein the diluent supply provides diluent flow to the end cap;d. a plurality of diluent ports circumferentially arranged inside at least one tube bundle, wherein the plurality of diluent ports provides fluid communication for the diluent flow through the downstream surface of the end cap; ande. a plurality of first diluent distributors in fluid communication with at least some of the diluent ports, wherein each first diluent distributor extends downstream from the downstream surface. 9. The system as in claim 8, wherein the diluent ports are circumferentially arranged around more than one tube bundle. 10. The system as in claim 8, wherein the plurality of first diluent distributors are in fluid communication with each diluent port. 11. The system as in claim 8, wherein each first diluent distributor comprises a plurality of injectors that provide fluid communication through the first diluent distributor. 12. The system as in claim 8, further comprising a thermal barrier coating on each first diluent distributor. 13. The system as in claim 8, further comprising a divider between at least one pair of adjacent tube bundles, wherein the divider defines a diluent passage that extends axially through the downstream surface. 14. The system as in claim 13, further comprising a plurality of second diluent distributors in fluid communication with the diluent passage defined by the divider, wherein each second diluent distributor extends downstream from the downstream surface and provides fluid communication for the diluent flow through the downstream surface of the end cap. 15. The system as in claim 8, further comprising a fuel supply in fluid communication with each tube bundle, wherein the fuel supply is substantially concentric with the diluent supply. 16. A method for reducing combustion dynamics in a combustor, comprising: a. flowing a fuel and air through a plurality of premixing tube bundles that extend axially through an end cap that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor;b. flowing a diluent through a plurality of diluent distributors into a combustion chamber downstream from the end cap, wherein the plurality of diluent distributors are circumferentially arranged inside at least one tube bundle and each diluent distributor extends downstream from the end cap; andc. forming a diluent barrier in the combustion chamber between at least one pair of adjacent tube bundles. 17. The method as in claim 16, further comprising forming the diluent barrier around the first tube bundle. 18. The method as in claim 16, further comprising forming the diluent barrier between each pair of adjacent tube bundles. 19. The method as in claim 16, further comprising injecting the diluent into the combustion chamber downstream from the end cap. 20. The method as in claim 16, further comprising flowing the fuel concentrically with the diluent through at least a portion of the combustor.
