1. A method of assembling a fuel nozzle tip for use with a combustor, wherein said method comprises: providing a fuel tube formed with a first plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings and a second plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings, wherein the fuel tube is oriented such
1. A method of assembling a fuel nozzle tip for use with a combustor, wherein said method comprises: providing a fuel tube formed with a first plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings and a second plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings, wherein the fuel tube is oriented such that fuel may be discharged into a mixing zone defined within the combustor through the first and second pluralities of fuel openings; andcoupling an air collar to the fuel tube, wherein the air collar is formed with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced substantially circular air openings, wherein the air collar encloses a zone immediately upstream of the mixing zone and is oriented such that air is discharged into the mixing zone through the plurality of air openings, wherein the air openings extend from an outer surface of the air collar adjacent an upstream end of the air collar to an inner surface of the air collar, and wherein the air openings are downstream and spaced apart from a front face of the fuel tube, and wherein the air collar is coupled to the front face of the fuel tube. 2. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein providing a fuel tube further comprises providing the fuel tube such that fuel may be discharged into the mixing zone through at least one of the first and second pluralities of fuel openings at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of the fuel nozzle tip. 3. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein coupling an air collar further comprises coupling the air collar to the fuel tube such that air may be discharged into the mixing zone through at least one of the plurality of air openings at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of the fuel nozzle tip. 4. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein coupling an air collar further comprises coupling the air collar to the fuel tube such that at least one of the first and second pluralities of fuel openings and the plurality of air openings is oriented to facilitate generating a swirl number of less than 0.4 within the mixing zone. 5. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein providing a fuel tube further comprises providing the fuel tube wherein the first and second pluralities of fuel openings are substantially concentric about a centerline of the fuel nozzle tip. 6. A method in accordance with claim 1, wherein providing a fuel tube further comprises orienting the fuel tube to circumferentially extend about a pilot tube, wherein the pilot tube is configured to channel a pilot fuel into the mixing zone. 7. A fuel nozzle tip for use with a combustor, said fuel nozzle tip comprising: a fuel tube comprising a first plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings and a second plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings, said fuel tube configured to channel fuel into a mixing zone defined within the combustor; andan air collar coupled to said fuel tube, said air collar enclosing a zone immediately upstream of the mixing zone and comprising a plurality of circumferentially-spaced substantially circular air openings configured to discharge air into said mixing zone, said air openings extending from an outer surface of an upstream end of said air collar to an inner surface of said air collar, wherein the air openings are downstream and spaced apart from a front face of the fuel tube, and wherein the air collar is coupled to the front face of the fuel tube. 8. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings is configured to discharge fuel into said mixing zone at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of said fuel nozzle tip. 9. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein at least one of said plurality of air openings is configured to discharge air into said mixing zone at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of said fuel nozzle tip. 10. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings and said plurality of air openings is oriented to facilitate generating a swirl number of less than 0.4 within said mixing zone. 11. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein said first and second pluralities of fuel openings are substantially concentric about a centerline of the fuel nozzle tip. 12. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein said fuel tube circumscribes a pilot fuel tube that is configured to channel a pilot fuel into said mixing zone. 13. A fuel nozzle tip in accordance with claim 7, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings is configured to channel fuel at a discharge angle between about 10° and 30° and at least one of said plurality of air openings is configured to channel air at a discharge angle between about 10° and 30°. 14. A gas turbine engine for use in an integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power generation system, the gas turbine engine comprising: a combustor; anda fuel nozzle tip that comprises:a fuel tube comprising a first plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings and a second plurality of circumferentially-spaced fuel openings, said fuel tube configured to channel fuel into a mixing zone defined within the combustor; andan air collar coupled to said fuel tube, said air collar enclosing a zone immediately upstream of the mixing zone and comprising a plurality of circumferentially-spaced substantially circular air openings configured to discharge air into said mixing zone, said air openings extending from an outer surface of an upstream end of said air collar to an inner surface of said air collar, wherein the air openings are downstream and spaced apart from a front face of the fuel tube, and wherein the air collar is coupled to the front face of the fuel tube. 15. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings is configured to discharge fuel into said mixing zone at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of said fuel nozzle tip. 16. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein at least one of said plurality of air openings is configured to discharge air into said mixing zone at a discharge angle that is obliquely oriented with respect to a centerline of said fuel nozzle tip. 17. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings and said plurality of air openings is oriented to facilitate generating a swirl number of less than 0.4 within said mixing zone. 18. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein said first and second pluralities of fuel openings are substantially concentric about a centerline of the fuel nozzle tip. 19. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein said fuel tube circumscribes a pilot fuel tube that is configured to channel a pilot fuel into said mixing zone. 20. A gas turbine engine in accordance with claim 14, wherein at least one of said first and second pluralities of fuel openings is configured to channel fuel at a discharge angle between about 10° and 30° and at least one of said plurality of air openings is configured to channel air at a discharge angle between about 10° and 30°.
