RETURN FLOW CHANNEL FORMATION PART FOR CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR AND CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR
A return flow channel formation part that comprises a casing (28) and a plurality of return vanes (38). The casing (28) comprises a return bend part (36) and a return flow channel (33) that has a straight flow channel (37). The straight flow channel (37) includes a hub side wall surface (W1), a shroud side wall surface (W2), and an intermediate intake port (41) that is formed in one radial-direction portion of the shroud side wall surface (W2). The angle of inclination of the hub side wall surface (W1) and/or the shroud side wall surface (W2) with respect to the radial direction in a cross-section that includes an axis line (Ar) changes at the intermediate intake port (41).
Turbofan bypass air cooled oil cooler fairings
A cooler assembly disposed in and cooled by an air stream according to one embodiment includes a cooler matrix and a fairing. The fairing assembly is disposed generally around the cooler matrix and includes side fairing-housings, first and second side fairing-housings being joined to one another at respective leading and trailing edges, the leading edges partially defining a cooler inlet and the trailing edges partially defining a cooler outlet, the first and second side fairing-housing trailing edges angled transversely toward each other to define a trapezoidal shape for the outlet.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IN-LINE DISTRIBUTED PROPULSION
A gas turbine engine system and method of operating gas turbine engines are provided. The gas turbine engine assembly includes a gas turbine engine includes a power shaft configured to rotate about an axis of rotation. The gas turbine engine assembly also includes a first fan and a second fan coupled to the power shaft coaxially with the gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine assembly also includes a first fan duct configured to direct a first stream of air to the first fan. The gas turbine engine assembly also includes a second fan duct configured to direct a second stream of air to the second fan. The gas turbine engine assembly also includes an exhaust duct configured to direct a stream of exhaust gases of the gas turbine engine in a direction of the axis of rotation.
SILENCER DUCT HAVING SILENCING ELEMENT AND COUPLERS
A silencer duct that may be part of, for example, a turbomachine inlet and may include a duct body, and a silencer element extending axially through the duct body. A first portion of a coupler may extend axially from a first side of the duct body. A second portion of a coupler may extend axially from a second side of the duct body. At least one of the first portion of the coupler and the second portion of the coupler are configured to couple to at least one of an adjacent silencer duct and an inlet.
RECOVERED-CYCLE AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE
An aircraft turbine engine having a compressor,an annular combustion chamber, a system for diffusing and straightening an air stream exiting the compressor in order to supply the combustion chamber, and a heat exchanger, this heat exchanger having: a first circuit supplied with exhaust gas from the turbine engine, and a second circuit comprising an inlet (38ba) connected by a first scroll to an outlet of the diffuser, and an outlet connected by a second scroll to an inlet of the straightener, the scrolls including connecting arms that rigidly connect the annular portions of the scrolls which are secured or connected to the diffuser and to the straightener, respectively.
Plenum closure panel with integrated airflow direction device
A plenum assembly for a compressor has a plenum housing defining a radially inward entry to a compressor and an outer circumference, and at least two open areas in the outer circumferences which are defined by at least two plenum flanges; an inlet duct connected to a first plenum flange of the at least two plenum flanges; and a panel having a flow control feature, wherein the panel is connected to a second plenum flange of the at least two plenum flanges.
