The impeller includes a hub carrying a plurality of blades that span in a radial direction outwardly of the hub, the plurality of blades being shaped to urge air between the inlet and the outlet. The plurality of blades may have a tip solidity ratio in the range of about 0.8 to 1.2, and each of the plurality of blades may have a twist angle between a root and a tip thereof in the range of about 15 to 30 degrees and a substantially constant thickness. An impellor, a blade, ventilation system and related methods are also disclosed.

A guide vane arranged in an air flow from a fan of an twin-spool aircraft engine, the aerodynamic part of the vane including an internal lubricant cooling passage partly delimited by an extrados wall and an extrados wall of the vane. The passage is equipped with a heat conduction matrix compressed between the walls and separating a first lubricant circulation space from a second lubricant circulation space. Furthermore, the matrix defines firstly first contact elements of the intrados wall formed in the first space and between which the lubricant from the first space will circulate, and secondly second contact elements of the extrados wall formed in the second space and between which the lubricant from the first space will circulate.

An impingement insert for HGP component may include a hollow body having a longitudinal extent, an exterior surface and an interior surface. The hollow body may include a first side wall, a second side wall contiguous with the first side wall at a first end of each, the second side wall is flexibly movable relative to the first side wall. A spring element is contiguous with a second end of each of the first side wall and the second side wall, and extends along at least a portion of the longitudinal extent of the hollow body and into the hollow body between the first side wall and the second side wall. The spring element biases the side walls to an expanded position from a compressed position of the hollow body. Cooling passages pass between the exterior surface and the interior surface of the hollow body in both side walls.

An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section including an outer wall that defines an internal cavity; and a baffle situated in the internal cavity, the baffle including a baffle wall that defines a central cavity having a leading end and a trailing end corresponding to a leading end and a trailing end of the airfoil section, and a tail extending from the baffle wall, the tail including at least one feature configured to disturb an airflow surrounding the tail. A baffle for the airfoil vane assembly and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.

An airfoil vane includes an airfoil section which includes an outer wall that defines an internal cavity. A baffle is situated in the internal cavity. The baffle includes a leading edge portion and a trailing edge portion which is bonded to the leading edge portion at a joint. The leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion define an internal cavity therewithin. Both the leading edge portion and the trailing edge portion include a plurality of cooling holes which are configured to provide cooling air to the airfoil outer wall. The trailing edge portion is formed of sheet metal and the leading edge portion is formed of non-sheet-metal. A method of making a baffle for a vane arc segment and a method of assembling a ceramic matrix composite airfoil vane are also disclosed.

A method of forming a tubular element includes providing an attachment joint, and disposing a mandrel adjacent the attachment joint, where the mandrel can also include an outer or exposed surface. Metal can be disposed on the outer surface of the mandrel to form at least a portion of the tubular element.

A turbine includes a turbine impeller, a turbine housing disposed so as to cover the turbine impeller and internally forming a scroll flow passage through which an exhaust gas flows, and a throat forming portion which is provided as a separate piece from the turbine housing. The throat forming portion is disposed to face a section of the turbine housing and forms a hub-side wall surface of a throat portion of the scroll flow passage in an axial direction, the section forming a shroud-side wall surface of the throat portion.

An active clearance control manifold assembly includes multiple arcuate manifold segments each having multiple circumferential channels axially spaced apart from one another. The circumferential channels include cooling holes facing radially inward. A tube at least partially circumscribes and fluidly interconnects the manifold segments.

A method for refurbishing an assembly having a first component and a second component is provided. The first component has a fore portion welded to the second component and a flared aft portion in proximity with the second component. The method includes processing the assembly such that the flared aft portion and a part of the fore portion proximal to the flared aft portion of the first component is subject to peening until the flared aft portion is plastically deformed from an initial position to a desired final position with respect to the second component.

A mixing system for a power generation system. The power generation system includes a rotary machine, an exhaust processing system, and a duct system. The rotary machine is configured to produce an exhaust stream. The exhaust processing system is positioned to receive and process the exhaust stream. The duct system is oriented to channel an air stream to the exhaust processing system and to channel the exhaust stream from the rotary machine to the exhaust processing system. The mixing system is within the duct system. The mixing system includes a plurality of supports, a plurality of links extending between at least two of the supports, and at least one wrap circumscribing at least two of the links. The at least one wrap is oriented to change an effective direction of momentum of the exhaust stream and the air stream.
