PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER COMPRISING PROFILED GUIDE ELEMENTS
A plate heat exchanger, in particular for an aircraft turbo machine, between a first fluid and a second fluid, the first fluid being intended to circulate in a first direction and the second fluid being intended to circulate in a second direction different from the first direction, the heat exchanger having stacked stages for circulation of the first fluid, and profiled elements at the inlet and outlet of the stages, the profiled elements having a sawtooth-shaped cross-section and defining channels converging at the inlet of the stages and diverging at the outlet of the stages.
ASYMMETRIC HEAT TRANSFER MEMBER FILLET TO DIRECT COOLING FLOW
A gas turbine engine component includes a body having an internal cooling passage with opposed walls and an array of heat transfer members attached to at least one of the opposed walls each with at least one fillet. There is an airflow direction through the cooling cavity such that the heat transfer members have a leading edge and a trailing edge. The at least one fillets have a leading edge and a trailing edge. A fillet portion leading edge is asymmetric relative to a fillet portion trailing edge to control an air flow direction towards downstream ones of the heat transfer members in the array. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
Scramjet isolator
A scramjet engine with a novel isolator is disclosed herein. The scramjet includes an air inlet configured to receive and direct air into the engine and a combustor operable to receive air from the air inlet and combust fuel therein as is conventional. An isolator is positioned between the air inlet and the combustor. The isolator includes a primary flow path separated into a plurality of separate secondary flow channels formed therethrough. The smaller secondary flow channels prevent shockwaves from propagating upstream from the combustor to the inlet that can occur during some operating conditions of a supersonic combustion flow process.
DAMPER
An inter-blade vibration damper for a gas turbine engine has an elongate damper body. The damper body is formed as a truncated cone and has a longitudinal axis. The elongate damper body is formed as a truncated cone. A conic surface of the damper body contacts a portion of a first blade and a portion of an adjoining second blade.
Blade root receptacle for receiving a rotor blade
Blade root receptacle for receiving a blade root of a rotor blade of a turbomachine. The blade root receptacle, for radially bearing in a form-fitting manner on the blade root, has a supporting flank which, in terms of a rotation axis, at least in proportions faces radially inward, wherein the supporting flank is provided with a convexity which, when viewed in an axially perpendicular section, at least in portions has a convex shape and, also when viewed in an axially parallel section, at least in portions has a convex shape.
Turbine rotor blade
A suction side fillet portion of a turbine rotor blade includes a central fillet portion located at the center of a length of the suction side fillet portion along an extension direction of the suction side fillet portion, an upstream intermediate fillet portion which is located between the central fillet portion and a front edge that is an upstream end of the suction side fillet portion, and in which a fillet height from an upper surface of a platform portion is higher than a fillet height of the central fillet portion, and a downstream intermediate fillet portion which is located between the central fillet portion and a rear edge that is a downstream end of the suction side fillet portion, and in which a fillet height from the upper surface of the platform portion is higher than the fillet height of the central fillet portion.
TURBINE ENGINE WITH COMPONENT HAVING A COOLING HOLE WITH A LAYBACK SURFACE
An apparatus for an engine component in a turbine engine. The engine component including a wall with a cooling hole having a passage extending between an inlet fluidly coupled to a cooling fluid flow and an outlet at a heated surface. The cooling hole including a layup surface defining a first angle (?) and a layback surface defining a second angle (?).
Diffuser part for a gas turbine
A diffuser component for a gas turbine is provided, where a fluid flow in the direction of a combustion chamber of the gas turbine can be slowed down by the diffuser component, and a flow cross-section of the diffuser component, which is defined by a diffuser wall is widened to do so. The diffuser wall is at least locally braced, in that at least one stiffening element with a lattice-type structure is provided on the diffuser wall.
Cooling passages for a gas path component of a gas turbine engine
A gas path component for a gas turbine engine includes an element configured to be exposed to a gas path. The element includes a plurality of internal cooling passages. At least one of the internal cooling passages includes a cross section having a plurality of asymmetrical filleted corners.
Rotor disc with passages
A rotor disc for a gas turbine engine includes an annular disc body configured to support a circumferential array of blades and having a plurality of passages defined therethrough. The passages form coils within the disc body and/or have a packing density of at least 0.1 in cross-sectional plane containing the central axis, the packing density being defined by a ratio between an open area of the passages and a solid area of the disc in the cross-sectional plane. A method of manufacturing a rotor disc is also discussed.
