A guide vane arrangement configured for use in a turbo pump, wherein the guide vane arrangement includes a first guide vane and a second guide vane, wherein the second guide vane is arranged adjacent to the first guide vane such that a flow channel is defined between a leading surface of the first guide vane and a trailing surface of the second guide vane. The trailing surface of the second guide vane comprises a trailing portion which is arranged adjacent to a trailing edge of the second guide vane and which is arranged at a first angle with respect to a virtual plane defined by a trailing edge of the first guide vane and the trailing edge of the second guide vane, a leading portion which is arranged adjacent to a leading edge of the second guide vane and which is arranged at a second angle with respect to the virtual plane defined by the trailing edge of the first guide vane and the trailing edge of the second guide vane, the second angle being larger than the first angle, and an intermediate portion which is arranged between the trailing portion and the leading portion and which is arranged at a third angle with respect to the virtual plane defined by the trailing edge of the first guide vane and the trailing edge of the second guide vane, the third angle being smaller than the first angle.

A method of cooling a vane of a turbine is provided. The turbine includes an airfoil, a shroud disposed at an end of the airfoil, the end being a radial end along a radial direction of the turbine, the shroud comprising a shroud main body and a shroud edge disposed on a circumference of the shroud main body to surround the shroud main body, the shroud edge comprising a shroud edge passage therein. A cooling air is caused to flow inside the shroud edge passage to cool the shroud edge, and after cooling the shroud edge, the shroud main body is cooled by using the cooling air which has flowed inside the shroud edge passage.

A pin member is proposed for a turbo-machine having a shroud arranged to rotate within a turbine housing. The pin member is configured to limit this rotation. It is a one-piece element comprising a cylindrical body and a limit surface for opposing motion of the shroud.

A vane for a gas turbine engine, the vane including a platform with an airfoil extending radially from the upper surface of the platform. The platform includes a joint portion which includes a circumferentially extending flange and a recessed surface both formed on either the upper or lower surface of the platform. The flange and the recessed surface extend from opposing circumferential edges of the joint portion and each include a substantially radially-extending through hole.

A method for constructing a nozzle ring for a turbocharger turbine nozzle includes the steps of: providing a nozzle ring in the form of an annular flat disk, the nozzle ring having a first face and an opposite second face; forming a plurality of circumferentially spaced circular bores extending through the nozzle ring from the first face to the second face; providing a plurality of vanes, each vane having a circular vane shaft extending from one end of the vane; inserting the vane shafts respectively into the bores in the nozzle ring from said first face thereof and orienting each vane to achieve a desired setting angle for the vane; and rigidly affixing the vane shafts to the nozzle ring to fix the vanes at the desired setting angles.

A wall of a hot gas component includes a hot and a cold-gas sided surface, one film cooling hole extending from an inlet in the cold-gas sided surface to an outlet in the hot-gas sided surface and with a metering section of constant cross-section and a diffuser section extending from the metering section. The diffuser section is bordered by a diffuser bottom and two opposing diffuser side walls, has a leading region, which extends from the metering section to the outlet, lies opposite the diffuser bottom and has a constant cross-section over its entire length corresponding to an elongation of a leading region of the metering section up to the outlet. The diffuser section has two diffuser arms dividing the flow into two subflows, generating delta-vortices, a v-shaped outlet, and a v-shaped outlet opening.

A front fan turbomachine includes an annular separating wall having a slat for separating an air flow between a primary flow and a secondary flow, the slat having a leading edge; inlet guide vanes (IGV) for guiding the primary flow and outlet guide vanes (OGV) blades for guiding the secondary flow. The leading edge of the slat has a serrated profile having a succession of teeth and depressions.

A vane assembly for a turbomachine includes a variable vane (10-15), the vane having at least one first, in particular plane or curved, engagement surface (11; 11′) for clamping, in particular without play, an actuator (20) of the vane assembly for adjustment of the vane, this first engagement surface not being inclined toward a longitudinal axis (L) of the vane or being inclined toward it by no more than 15°, and/or the vane assembly including a clamp (30; 31) for clamping the actuator against the first engagement surface by at least partially elastically compressing the clamp transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vane and/or by advancing the clamp in a clamp direction (S) that forms an angle of at least 45° with the longitudinal axis of the vane.
