A combustor assembly for a heat engine is generally provided. The combustor assembly includes a liner wall defining a combustion chamber, and a deflector assembly. The deflector assembly includes a radially extended first wall disposed adjacent to the combustion chamber, and further an axially extended second wall disposed forward of the first wall and adjacent thereto. The second wall is coupled to the liner wall.

A turbine in a gas turbine engine that includes a stator blade and a rotor blade having a seal formed in a trench cavity. The trench cavity may include an axial gap defined between opposing inboard faces of the stator blade and rotor blade. The seal may include: a stator overhang extending from the stator blade toward the rotor blade so to include an outboard edge and an inboard edge and, defined therebetween, an overhang face; a rotor outboard face extending radially inboard from a platform edge, the rotor outboard face opposing at least a portion of the overhang face across the axial gap of the trench cavity; and a first axial projection extending from the rotor outboard face toward the stator blade. The stator overhang and the first axial projection of the rotor blade may be configured so to axially overlap.

An interstage seal for a turbine of a gas turbine engine, the interstage seal having a seal carrier with an axial extending seal tooth movable with a stator of the engine, and a rotor with a seal surface that forms the interstage seal with the seal tooth, where a magnetic force produced by two magnets and a gas force produced by a gas pressure acting on the seal carrier forms a balancing force to maintain a close clearance of the seal without the seal tooth contacting the rotor seal surfaces during engine operation. In other embodiments, two pairs of magnets produce first and second magnetic forces that balance the seal in the engine.

An exhaust-gas section for a gas turbine, having a surrounding shroud having a first opening, which is arranged in a region of the exhaust-gas section that has a pressure lower than the air pressure of the outer environment of the gas turbine in an operating state of the gas turbine and which forms the outlet of an air channel, the inlet of which is connected to the outer environment of the gas turbine. The air channel has a chamber at the outlet-side end of the air channel, which chamber has a second opening, through which a specified gas mass flow is admitted into the chamber.

A gas turbine engine having a turbine that includes a stator blade and a rotor blade having a seal formed in a trench cavity defined therebetween. The seal may include: a stator overhang extending from the stator blade toward the rotor blade so to include an overhang topside, and, opposite the overhang topside, an overhang underside; a rotor outboard face extending radially inboard from a platform edge, the rotor outboard face opposing at least a portion of the overhang face across the axial gap of the trench cavity; an axial projection extending from the rotor outboard face toward the stator blade so to axially overlap with the stator overhang; and an interior cooling channel extending through the stator overhang to a port formed through the overhang underside. The port may be configured to direct a coolant expelled therefrom toward the axial projection.

A host gas flow path component includes a body including a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, and a pair of opposed lateral sides. A first lateral side is configured to interface with a cavity having a cooling fluid. The hot gas flow path component includes a supply channel disposed within the body and extending from the cavity to adjacent the leading edge or the trailing edge. The hot gas flow path component includes a channel disposed within the body adjacent the trailing edge or the leading edge. The channel extends across the body in a direction from the first side edge toward the second side edge. The channel is configured to receive the cooling fluid from the cavity to cool the trailing edge or the leading edge via an intermediate channel extending between the supply channel and the channel.

A gas turbine engine includes a device for providing sealing between one rotor section and one stator section. The device includes a coating made of an abradable material attached to the stator section. The device further includes a lip on a portion of the rotor section. The lip is configured to form a seal with the abradable material. The gas turbine engine further includes passages for a gaseous fluid and means for blowing such gaseous fluid. The passages open into the rotor section provided with the lip, so that blown gaseous fluid can be present in a zone radially located between the coating and the lip.
