Turbine shroud assembly with flange mounted ceramic matrix composite turbine shroud ring
A turbine assembly adapted for use with a gas turbine engine includes an outer case, a blade track segment, and a carrier. The outer case extends circumferentially at least partway around an axis of the engine. The blade track segment is configured to define a portion of a gas path of the turbine assembly. The carrier is coupled with the outer case and the blade track segment to support the blade track segment in position radially relative to the axis. The carrier is coupled with the outer case for movement with the outer case in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the outer case during use of the turbine assembly.
Seal structure for gas turbine rotor blade
A seal structure for a gas turbine blade including a shank including a first side surface, a second side surface, and a bottom surface located radially inward from a fin. The first side surface has a recess movably housing a wedge seal, and a slot on the bottom surface as an insertion opening for a spline seal. The second side surface has a slot on the bottom surface as the insertion opening. The recess has an inclined surface extending straight radially inward and away from the first side surface. The wedge seal includes a wedge portion including a first wedge surface to be opposed to the inclined surface and a second wedge surface to be opposed to the second side surface of the adjacent rotor blade to form a wedge together with the wedge surface, and a weight portion positioned radially inward in the recess from the wedge portion.
Turbomachine turbine having a CMC nozzle with load spreading
A turbine comprises a casing, an outer metal shroud, an inner metal shroud and an annular distributor having a plurality of CMC ring sectors, each sector comprising a mast, an inner platform, an outer platform and at least one blade having a hollow profile that defines an inner housing, the inner and outer platforms each having an opening communicating with said inner housing, and the mast passing through said openings and the inner housing and being secured to said casing and connected to said annular sector. Each blade comprises at least one first radial shoulder projecting axially towards the inside of the blade, and each mast comprises at least one second shoulder projecting axially towards the outside of the mast configured to radially cooperate with a first shoulder and radially press the blade against the mast.
Systems and methods for manufacturing film cooling hole diffuser portion
A gas path component for a gas turbine engine includes a film cooling hole disposed in the gas path component. The film cooling hole includes a metering section, a diffuser, and a tapered surface extending between the metering section and the diffuser. The tapered surface is oriented between twenty degrees and seventy degrees with respect to a centerline axis of the metering section. The tapered surface is oriented at an obtuse angle with respect to an immediately adjacent surface of the diffuser, the obtuse angle is open towards the centerline axis. The tapered surface is configured to mitigate flow separation in the diffuser.
AIRFOIL WITH A SQUEALER TIP COOLING SYSTEM FOR A TURBINE BLADE, A TURBINE BLADE, A TURBINE BLADE ASSEMBLY, A GAS TURBINE AND A MANUFACTURING METHOD
