Gas turbine engine sealing arrangement
A sealing arrangement for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a groove that extends between an upstream rail and a downstream rail, a complementary static structure spaced from the groove, and a seal positioned within the groove and configured to seal a clearance between at least one of the upstream rail and the downstream rail and the complementary static structure.
Power generation system exhaust cooling
An airflow control system for a gas turbine system according to an embodiment includes: a compressor component of a gas turbine system; a mixing area for receiving an exhaust gas stream produced by the gas turbine system; an air extraction system for extracting a supply of bypass air from an excess flow of air generated by the compressor component of the gas turbine system; an enclosure surrounding the gas turbine system and forming an air passage, the bypass air flowing through the air passage and around the gas turbine system into the mixing area to reduce a temperature of the exhaust gas stream; and an exhaust processing system for processing the reduced temperature exhaust gas stream.

NACELLE WITH BIFURCATION EXTENSION AND INTEGRAL STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT
A nacelle for an aircraft propulsion system includes a core cowl portion, a bifurcation portion and an extension portion. The core cowl portion extends about a centerline to the bifurcation portion. The bifurcation portion is connected to and extends radially between the core cowl portion and the extension portion. The extension portion projects out from the bifurcation portion and circumferentially extends over the core cowl portion. The extension portion includes an acoustic panel and a structural reinforcement. The acoustic panel includes a cellular core between a perforated face skin and a back skin, wherein the face skin is radially inboard of the back skin. The structural reinforcement is bonded to the back skin and structurally reinforces the acoustic panel.
PARTITION DAMPER SEAL CONFIGURATIONS FOR SEGMENTED INTERNAL COOLING HARDWARE
Partition damper seal configurations for segmented internal cooling hardware apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an inner wall and an outer wall, the outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall in a radial direction, a space between the inner and outer walls defining a flow passage, and a body positioned between the inner and outer walls, the body traversing the inner and outer walls in an axial direction and attached to an inner surface of the outer wall and an outer surface of the inner wall, the body to detach from the inner and outer surfaces and to at least partially seal the flow passage in response to the outer wall moving relative to the inner wall.
