TURBINE TIP SHROUD ASSEMBLY WITH PLURAL SHROUD SEGMENTS HAVING INTERNAL COOLING PASSAGES
A shroud assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a shroud support and a plurality of shroud segments that are attached to the shroud support. The shroud segment includes an internal cooling passage.
Device for deicing a separator nose of an aviation turbine engine
A device for deicing a separator nose of an aviation turbine engine, and including a separator nose for positioning downstream from a fan of the engine to separate annular channels for passing a primary stream and a secondary stream coming from the engine, and a casing fastened to the separator nose so as to extend it downstream, the casing having an inner shroud defining the outside of the primary stream flow passage, and including at least one air duct incorporated in the inner shroud so as to be formed integrally therewith, the air duct opening out downstream to an air feed and opening out upstream into the inside of the separator nose.
Turbocharger with variable turbine geometry having grooved guide vanes
A plurality of guide vanes (34) in a variable turbine geometry turbocharger (10) regulates a flow of exhaust gas. The guide vanes (34) are selectively adjustable between an open position to allow the flow of exhaust gas to drive a turbine wheel (24) and a closed position to block the flow of exhaust gas. A first flow feature (58) is disposed on first (44) and second (46) edges of the guide vanes (34) to disturb the flow of exhaust gas to prevent leakage of exhaust gas around the first (44) and second (46) edges. A second flow feature (64) is disposed on front (60) and rear (62) surfaces of the guide vanes (34) to channel the flow of exhaust gas between adjacent guide vanes (34) when the guide vanes (34) are in the open position to prevent swirling and/or cross flow of the exhaust gas.
GAS TURBINE ENGINE COMPONENT HAVING TIP VORTEX CREATION FEATURE
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a static structure that extends between a radially outer portion and a radially inner portion and at least one vortex creation feature formed on the static structure. A method of sealing is also disclosed.
AIRFOIL TURN CAPS IN GAS TURBINE ENGINES
Turn caps for airfoils of gas turbine engines having a first pressure-side turn passage extending from a respective inlet to a respective outlet within the turn cap, a first suction-side turn passage extending from a respective inlet to a respective outlet within the turn cap, and a merging chamber fluidly connected to the outlets of the first pressure-side turn passage and the first suction-side turn passage, wherein each of the first suction-side turn passage and the first pressure-side turn passage turn a direction of fluid flow from a first direction to a second direction such that a fluid flow exiting the first suction-side turn passage and the first pressure-side turn passage are aligned when entering the merging chamber.
Gas turbine engine component having tip vortex creation feature
A component for a gas turbine engine according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a static structure that extends between a radially outer portion and a radially inner portion and at least one vortex creation feature formed on the static structure.
COMPRESSOR BLADES AND/OR VANES
This disclosure concerns aerofoils for an axial flow compressor. The compressor has an array of aerofoils angularly spaced about its axis of rotation. The aerofoils have leading and trailing edges extending in a direction spanning a flow region defined between a radially inner rotor component and a radially outer casing. Each aerofoil has opposing pressure and suction surfaces extending between the leading and trailing edges and terminating at a free end of the aerofoil. Each aerofoil leans towards the pressure surface by an angle of between 10 and 80 in the vicinity of the aerofoil tip. The aggressive negative lean towards the tip may help reduce over-tip leakage flow in use.
AIRCRAFT ENGINE WITH STATOR HAVING VARYING PITCH
An aircraft engine, has: an upstream stator having upstream stator vanes circumferentially distributed about a central axis; and a downstream stator having downstream stator vanes circumferentially distributed about the central axis, the downstream stator located downstream of the upstream stator relative to an airflow flowing within a core gaspath of the aircraft engine, a number of the upstream stator vanes being different than a number of the downstream stator vanes, major portions of leading edges of the downstream stator vanes circumferentially overlapped by the upstream stator vanes, the downstream stator vanes including: a first pair of circumferentially adjacent vanes of the downstream stator vanes spaced apart by a first pitch, and a second pair of circumferentially adjacent vanes of the downstream stator vanes spaced apart by a second pitch different than the first pitch.
Steam turbine blade, steam turbine, and method for operating same
This steam turbine blade is provided with: a blade body (61) extending in a radial direction and having an airfoil profile in a cross section perpendicular to the radial direction; and a heater (H) including a heating wire disposed so as to extend along a trailing edge (Er) of the airfoil profile in the blade body (61). This configuration makes it possible to further mitigate an efficiency drop due to moisture attached to the surface of the steam turbine blade (60).
Aircraft engine with stator having varying geometry
An aircraft engine, has: an upstream stator having upstream stator vanes distributed about a central axis; and a downstream stator having downstream stator vanes distributed about the central axis, the downstream stator located downstream of the upstream stator, a number of the upstream stator vanes different than a number of the downstream stator vanes, the downstream stator vanes including: a first vane, a major portion of a leading edge of the first vane circumferentially overlapped by one of the upstream stator vanes; and a second vane differing from the first vane by a geometric parameter, the geometric parameter causing the second vane to have one or more of: a stiffness greater than that of the first vane, and a major portion of a leading edge of the second vane circumferentially overlapped by another one of the upstream stator vanes.
