A system for reducing combustion dynamics and NOx in a combustor includes a tube bundle that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the tube bundle comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface. A shroud circumferentially surrounds the upstream and downstream surfaces. A plurality of tubes extends through the tube bundle from the upstream surface through the downstream surface, wherein the downstream surface is stepped to produce tubes having different lengths through the tube bundle. A method for reducing combustion dynamics and NOx in a combustor includes flowing a working fluid through a plurality of tubes radially arranged between an upstream surface and a downstream surface of an end cap that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the downstream surface is stepped.

1. A system for reducing combustion dynamics and NOx in a combustor, comprising: a. a tube bundle that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor, wherein the tube bundle comprises an upstream surface axially separated from a downstream surface;b. a shroud that circumferentially surrounds the upstream and downstream surfaces; andc. a plurality of tubes that extends through the tube bundle from the upstream surface through the downstream surface, wherein the downstream surface is stepped to prevent flame interaction between tubes and to produce tubes having different lengths through the tube bundle;d. wherein the upstream surface, the downstream surface and the shroud define a fuel plenum, wherein each tube of the plurality of tubes is in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. 2. The system as in claim 1, wherein a first set of the plurality of tubes extends downstream from the downstream surface. 3. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of tube bundles radially arranged in the combustor. 4. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a thermal harrier coating along at least a portion of the downstream surface. 5. The system as in claim 1, further comprising a barrier that extends radially inside the tube bundle between the upstream and downstream surfaces to separate a fuel plenum from a diluent plenum inside the tube bundle. 6. The system as in claim 5, further comprising a plurality of diluent ports through the downstream surface, wherein the plurality of diluent ports provides fluid communication from the diluent plenum through the downstream surface. 7. The system as in claim 5, further comprising a plurality of fuel ports through the plurality of tubes, wherein the plurality of fuel ports provides fluid communication from the fuel plenum through the plurality of tubes. 8. The system as in claim 1, wherein the downstream surface is stepped such that a first tube of the plurality of tubes has a first axial length and a second tube of the plurality of tubes which is spaced radially outwardly from the first tube has a second axial length, wherein the first axial length is less than the second axial length. 9. A system for reducing combustion dynamics and NOx 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 and a stepped downstream surface axially separated from the upstream surface;b. a cap shield that circumferentially surrounds the upstream and downstream surfaces, wherein the cap shield, the upstream surface and the downstream surface define a fuel plenum within the end cap;c. a plurality of tubes that extends through the end cap from the upstream surface, through the fuel plenum and terminate at the stepped downstream surface, wherein two or more of the tubes of the plurality of tubes have different axial lengths, wherein at least one tube of the plurality of tubes is in fluid communication with the fuel plenum. 10. The system as in claim 9, wherein a first set of the plurality of tubes extends downstream from the stepped downstream surface. 11. The system as in claim 9, wherein the plurality of tubes is arranged in a plurality of tube bundles radially arranged in the end cap. 12. The system as in claim 9, further comprising a thermal barrier coating along at least a portion of the stepped downstream surface. 13. The system as in claim 9, further comprising a barrier that extends radially inside the end cap between the upstream surface and the stepped downstream surface to separate a fuel plenum from a diluent plenum inside the end cap. 14. The system as in claim 13, further comprising a plurality of diluent ports through the stepped downstream surface, wherein the plurality of diluent ports provides fluid communication from the diluent plenum through the stepped downstream surface. 15. The system as in claim 13, further comprising a plurality of fuel ports through the plurality of tubes, wherein the plurality of fuel ports provides fluid communication from the fuel plenum through the plurality of tubes. 16. The system as in claim 9, wherein the stepped downstream surface is stepped such that a first tube of the plurality of tubes has a first axial length and a second tube of the plurality of tubes which is spaced radially outwardly from the first tube has a second axial length, wherein the first axial length is greater than the second axial length. 17. A method for reducing combustion dynamics and NOx, in a combustor, comprising: a. flowing a working fluid through a plurality of tubes radially arranged between an upstream surface and a downstream surface of an end cap that extends radially across at least a portion of the combustor;b. injecting a fuel from a fuel plenum into the tubes, wherein the tubes extend axially through the fuel plenum, wherein the fuel plenum is at least partially defined between the upstream and downstream surfaces and wherein the downstream surface of the end cap is stepped to produce tubes having different axial lengths. 18. The method as in claim 17, further comprising flowing a diluent through diluent ports in the downstream surface.
