In some embodiments, apparatuses are provided herein useful to sealing a gap between a movable flap and stationary structure, such as a gap between a gas turbine engine nozzle flap and sidewall. An apparatus for sealing such a gap may be a plunger seal which may include a plurality of plunger segments connected together using at least one flexure. When positioned in the gap, the flexures within the plunger segments pivot allowing rotation of each of the plurality of plunger segments about their respective pivot point, such that the plunger assembly seals and contours against the movable surface.

A turbocharger arrangement includes a turbine housing with multiple individual cylinder exhaust delivery scrolls, each having an individual inlet to the turbine, formed therein. The turbine housing has one individual cylinder exhaust delivery scroll for each cylinder of an engine to which the turbocharger arrangement is attached. Individual runner exhaust manifolds each connect one exhaust port of one cylinder of the engine to one of the individual cylinder exhaust delivery scrolls. The individual runner exhaust manifolds may be pipes of approximately equal length and/or equal gas flow characteristics. Separating the exhaust pulses from each cylinder with individually runner exhaust manifolds and turbine scrolls allows for enthalpy in the exhaust flow to be harnessed to a greater extent, and allows the system to be tuned for optimum energy recovery from engine cylinder blowdown.

The present invention discloses a soundproof cabin of a turbine engine. The soundproof cabin is sleeved on the turbine engine. The soundproof cabin includes a cabin body, an induction noise reduction unit and a ventilation noise reduction unit, wherein the induction noise reduction unit and the ventilation noise reduction unit are disposed on the cabin body, the surrounding of which is filled with soundproof materials, the induction noise reduction unit is used to reduce the induction noise of the turbine engine, the ventilation noise reduction unit is used to reduce the noise of the ventilation system of the turbine engine. Beneficial effects: an induction noise reduction unit is disposed at an air inlet of the turbine engine to reduce the induction noise of the turbine engine; a ventilation noise reduction unit is disposed on the transmission direction of the turbine engine to reduce the ventilation and cooling noise of the turbine engine; the surrounding of the turbine engine is filled with soundproof materials to achieve the overall noise reduction around the turbine engine.

An instrumentation assembly configured to measure properties of an engine exhaust stream is disclosed in this paper. The instrumentation assembly may include an outer support ring that extends around a central axis, an inner support ring arranged radially inward of the outer support ring around the central axis, and a plurality of instrumentation rake assemblies. The plurality of instrumentation rake assemblies extends from the outer support ring to the inner support ring across an annular passageway defined between the outer support ring and the inner support ring configured to carry the engine exhaust stream.

A method for producing a thin-walled metal part with complex geometry includes mixing a metal powder with a polymer binder in order to obtain a composite mixture, producing a flexible composite sheet from the composite mixture, cutting, in the flexible composite sheet, a preform based on a contour of the metal part, applying the preform in a mold having a surface configured with a relief of the metal part, and debinding and sintering the preform in order to obtain the metal part.
