A segmented annular combustion system includes integrated combustor nozzles, each of which has a fuel injection panel disposed radially between an inner liner segment and an outer liner segment. The fuel injection panel includes an aft end portion, a first side wall, a second side wall, premixing channels defined between the first side wall and the side wall, and injection outlets defined along at least one of the first side wall and the second side wall. The aft end portion defines a turbine nozzle portion. An interior portion between the first side wall and the second side wall includes walls that extend between the first and second side walls, thereby partitioning the interior portion into discrete air cavities. The liner segments may be cooled by micro-channel cooling passages, which may be fluidly coupled to a collection trough.

A flexible bellows assembly is disclosed for sealing an engine igniter for use with an engine. The bellows assembly includes a mounting arrangement that is operable to be secured to a combustor diffuser instead of the combustor liner. The bellows has a component that impinges upon a surface of the combustor liner so as to form a sealed chamber between a metal diffuser and a ceramic combustion liner. An igniter passes through the sealed chamber and provides ignition to the combustor.

A combustor liner for a gas turbine has a cold side liner segment, and a hot side liner segment, with a baffle cavity between the cold side liner segment and the hot side liner segment. At least one cooling airflow dispersing member is arranged within the baffle cavity. The at least one cooling airflow dispersing member includes a main cavity portion, and at least one peripheral cavity portion surrounding the main cavity portion. The main cavity portion includes a main cavity inlet side having a cooling airflow opening, a main cavity outlet side having plurality of hot side cooling airflow openings, and at least one peripheral cavity outlet flow passage providing fluid communication between the main cavity portion and the at least one peripheral cavity portion. The at least one peripheral cavity portion includes a peripheral cavity outlet side having a plurality of hot side cooling airflow openings.

A heat engine including a wall assembly is generally provided. The wall assembly includes a plurality of radial walls coupled together via a connecting member. The radial wall defines a flow opening therethrough. A flow cavity is defined between the plurality of radial walls and the connecting member.

A turbine engine includes a combustion chamber, comprising two coaxial axisymmetric walls extending one inside the other and delimiting between one another an annular air-circulation, an exterior wall, and at least one injector passing through the walls via ports, wherein the injector comprises a peripheral tube connected to the walls by three connections, at least two connections being of the slideway and/or ball-joint or bellows type.

A burner supply tube, and a burner arrangement having such a burner supply tube, which includes a tube wall extending having a tube diameter and at least one integrated fuel channel extending from a fuel input at an upstream tube end to a fuel output at a downstream tube end. To enable an integrated design, the fuel channel is along the majority of the tube length helical with a gradient of at least 0.5 times and at most 5 times the tube diameter.

The gas turbine engine includes a fluid system fluidly connecting at least two components of the gas turbine engine, and a tunable resonator in fluid flow communication with the fluid system. The tunable resonator has a resonating volume that varies as a function of a volume of an inflatable member located inside the tunable resonator. The inflatable member having a means for varying the volume of the inflatable member, to thereby tune the resonating volume to a selected frequency of pressure fluctuations or acoustic waves within the fluid system.

A crossfire tube to pass a flame from a combustor chamber of a first combustor to a combustor chamber of a second combustor adjacent to the first combustor is provided. The crossfire tube includes a first insertion pipe configured to connect an inner liner and an outer liner of the first combustor, the inner liner defining the combustion chamber and the outer liner surrounding the inner liner, a second insertion pipe configured to connect an inner liner and an outer liner of a liner of the second combustor, and a connection pipe disposed between the first combustor and the second combustor and connected to the first insertion pipe and the second insertion pipe at respective ends thereof so that the combustion chamber of the first combustor communicates with the combustion chamber of the second combustor via the connection pipe.

A system includes a turbine combustor. The turbine combustor has a combustor liner disposed about a combustion chamber, a flow sleeve, and a radial passageway. The flow sleeve disposed at an offset about the combustor liner to define a passage, wherein the passage is configured to direct an exhaust gas flow toward a head end of the turbine combustor. The radial passageway extends between the flow sleeve and the combustor liner, and the radial passageway is configured to isolate an oxidant flow through the radial passageway from the exhaust gas flow through the passage for a first operating condition and a second operating condition of the turbine combustor. The offset between the combustor liner and the flow sleeve at the first operating condition is greater than the offset between the combustor liner and the flow sleeve at the second operating condition.
