A combustor includes an end cap having an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface and a cap shield circumferentially surrounding the upstream and downstream surfaces. A first circuit of tubes extends from the upstream surface through the downstream surface. A first fuel plenum is in fluid communication with the first circuit of tubes. A second circuit of tubes extends from the upstream surface through the downstream surface. A second fuel plenum downstream from the first fuel plenum is in fluid communication with the second circuit of tubes. A method for supplying fuel to a combustor includes flowing a working fluid through tubes, flowing fuel or diluent from a first fuel plenum through a first circuit of tubes, and flowing fuel or diluent from a second fuel plenum through a second circuit of tubes, wherein the second fuel plenum is downstream from the first fuel plenum.

1. A combustor, comprising: an end cap that extends radially and axially within a casing of the combustor, wherein the end cap comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface and a cap shield circumferentially surrounding the upstream surface and the downstream surface;a first fuel plenum defined within the cap shield between the upstream surface and a first barrier;a first baffle disposed within the first fuel plenum upstream from the first barrier;a first conduit extending through the upstream surface into the first fuel plenum, wherein the first conduit is oriented to direct a flow of fuel into the first fuel plenum against the first baffle, wherein the flow of fuel is substantially perpendicular to the first baffle:a first circuit of tubes extending through the upstream surface and the downstream surface within the cap shield, wherein the first circuit of tubes are in fluid communication with the first fuel plenum;a second fuel plenum defined within the cap shield between the first barrier and the downstream surface;a second baffle disposed within the second fuel plenum between the first barrier and the downstream surface;a second conduit extending through the upstream surface, through the first fuel plenum, through the first barrier and into the second fuel plenum, wherein the second conduit is oriented to direct a flow of fuel into the second fuel plenum against the second baffle, wherein the flow of fuel is substantially perpendicular to the second baffle; anda second circuit of tubes extending through the upstream surface and the downstream surface within the cap shield, wherein the second circuit of tubes are in fluid communication with the second fuel plenum. 2. The combustor as in claim 1, wherein at least one tube of the second circuit of tubes is in fluid communication with the first fuel plenum. 3. The combustor as in claim 1, wherein each tube of the first circuit of tubes includes a passage disposed within the first fuel plenum, wherein the passage provides for fluid communication between the first fuel plenum and the tube. 4. The combustor as in claim 3, wherein the passage is disposed within the first fuel plenum between the upstream surface and the first baffle. 5. The combustor as in claim 3, wherein the passage is disposed within the first fuel plenum between the first baffle and the first barrier. 6. The combustor as in claim 1, wherein each tube of the second circuit of tubes includes a passage disposed within the second fuel plenum, wherein the passage provides for fluid communication between the second fuel plenum and the tube. 7. The combustor as in claim 6, wherein the passage is disposed within the second fuel plenum between the first barrier and the second baffle. 8. The combustor as in claim 1, wherein at least one tube of the second circuit of tubes includes a plurality of passages that provide for fluid communication into the at least one tube, wherein at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed within the first fuel plenum and at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed within the second fuel plenum. 9. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed within the first fuel plenum between the upstream surface and the first baffle and at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed between the first baffle and the first barrier. 10. The combustor as in claim 8, wherein the at least one passage of the plurality of passages disposed within the first fuel plenum is circular and the at least one passage of the plurality of passages disposed within the second fuel plenum is non-circular. 11. A combustor, comprising: an end cap that extends radially and axially within a casing of the combustor, wherein the end cap comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface and a cap shield circumferentially surrounding the upstream surface and the downstream surface;a first fuel plenum defined within the cap shield between the upstream surface and a first barrier;a first conduit extending through the upstream surface into the first fuel plenum, wherein the first conduit is oriented to direct a flow of fuel into the first fuel plenum substantially perpendicular to the first barrier;a first baffle disposed within the first fuel plenum between the upstream surface and the first barrier, wherein the first conduit is oriented to direct the flow of fuel against the first baffle;a first circuit of tubes extending through the upstream surface and the downstream surface within the cap shield, wherein the first circuit of tubes are in fluid communication with the first fuel plenum;a second fuel plenum defined within the cap shield between the first barrier and the downstream surface;a second conduit extending through the upstream surface, through the first fuel plenum, through the first barrier and into the second fuel plenum, wherein the second conduit is oriented to direct a flow of fuel, steam or diluent into the second fuel plenum substantially perpendicular to the downstream surface; anda second baffle disposed within the second fuel plenum between the first barrier and the downstream surface, wherein the second conduit is oriented to direct the flow of fuel, steam or diluent against the second baffle;a second circuit of tubes extending through the upstream surface and the downstream surface within the cap shield, wherein the second circuit of tubes are in fluid communication with the second fuel plenum. 12. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein the first conduit is oriented to direct the flow of fuel against the first barrier. 13. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein the second conduit is oriented to direct the flow of fuel, steam or diluent against the downstream surface. 14. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein at least one tube of the second circuit of tubes is in fluid communication with the first fuel plenum. 15. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein each tube of the first circuit of tubes includes a passage disposed within the first fuel plenum, wherein the passage provides for fluid communication between the first fuel plenum and the tube. 16. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein each tube of the second circuit of tubes includes a passage disposed within the second fuel plenum, wherein the passage provides for fluid communication between the second fuel plenum and the tube. 17. The combustor as in claim 11, wherein at least one tube of the second circuit of tubes includes a plurality of passages that provide for fluid communication into the at least one tube, wherein at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed within the first fuel plenum and at least one passage of the plurality of passages is disposed within the second fuel plenum. 18.
