A strut cover for a gas turbine includes: a cylindrical sheet metal member having a hollow portion; and a flare member that is connected to one end of the cylindrical sheet metal member in an axial direction of the cylindrical sheet metal member and includes a curved portion having an outer surface such that a distance from a center axis of the cylindrical sheet metal member to the outer surface increases with increasing a distance from the cylindrical sheet metal member in the axial direction. The flare member has a thickness larger than a minimum thickness of the cylindrical sheet metal member at least in the curved portion.

A turbine casing divided in an axial direction into a first casing and a second casing coupled to each other by flanges of the first casing and the second casing. The first casing and the second casing are divided into two parts as viewed from the axial direction, the two parts being an upper half casing and a lower half casing. The turbine casing having three or more sets of a first radial reference surface and a second radial reference surface in a circumferential direction, the first radial reference surface being disposed in a flange peripheral portion of the first casing, and the second radial reference surface being disposed in a flange peripheral portion of the second casing. Each first radial reference surface is located at an equal distance from a turbine central axis. Each second radial reference surface is located at an equal distance from the turbine central axis.

A turbine exhaust case (TEC) has an outer case and an inner case structurally interconnected by a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart struts. At least one of the struts has an airfoil body with a hollow core. The airfoil body has opposed pressure and suction sides extending chordwise from a leading edge to a trailing edge and spanwise from a radially inner end to a radially outer end. The radially inner end of the strut has a strut wall extension that extends through the inner case to a location radially inward of the inner case relative to the central axis.

A compressor section includes a compressor casing that has an upper casing portion coupled to a lower casing portion such that a split-line is defined between the upper casing portion and the lower casing portion. A split-line stator vane assembly includes a first split-line stator vane that has a first shank with a first platform portion and a first mounting portion extends radially outward of the first platform portion. A first airfoil extends radially inward of the platform portion. The first platform portion includes a protrusion that extends circumferentially beyond the split-line. A second split-line stator vane having second shank with a second platform portion and a second mounting portion extends radially outward of the second platform portion.

A radially flexible connection joint for a gas turbine engine includes an exhaust manifold flange operatively coupling an exhaust cylinder to an exhaust manifold of the gas turbine engine. The exhaust cylinder includes a cylindrical flange that extends radially outwardly from a rotation axis of the gas turbine. The cylindrical flange defines a downstream axial face. The exhaust manifold is positioned downstream from the exhaust cylinder. The exhaust manifold includes an upstream edge. The exhaust cylinder and the exhaust manifold are substantially coaxial with the rotation axis of the gas turbine. The exhaust manifold flange has a bellows portion that extends radially between the cylindrical flange of the exhaust cylinder and the upstream edge of the exhaust manifold. The bellows portion permits relative radial motion of the exhaust cylinder and the exhaust manifold.

A heat management system for turbomachinery is provided. The heat management system includes a thermal delivery system configured to providing heating, cooling, or a combination thereof, to a turbomachinery. The thermal delivery system includes a first heat transfer conduit and a second heat transfer conduit. The second heat transfer conduit is disposed on the turbomachinery adjacent to the first heat transfer conduit. The heat management system additionally includes a controller operatively coupled to the thermal delivery system and configured to control the heating, the cooling, or the combination thereof, of the turbomachinery via the thermal delivery system.
