TURBOMACHINE INCLUDING CLEARANCE CONTROL SYSTEM
A gas turbomachine includes a compressor portion, a turbine portion operatively connected to the compressor portion, and a combustor assembly fluidically connected to each of the compressor portion and the turbine portion. A turbine casing includes a body having an outer surface and an inner surface. A clearance control system includes a plurality of fluidically connected fluid channels extending through the turbine casing. The plurality of fluidically connected fluid channels includes a first fluid channel configured to direct a fluid flow in a first axial direction, a circumferential fluid channel configured to direct the fluid flow in a circumferential direction, and a second fluid channel configured to direct the fluid flow in a second axial direction substantially opposite the first axial direction. The first fluid channel includes a first outlet passing through the inner surface, and the second fluid channel including a second outlet passing through the inner surface.
Fan blade attachment of gas turbine engine
A fan blade includes a root including a front surface, a rear surface, a first side surface connected to the front surface and the rear surface, and a second side surface connected to the front surface and the rear surface. The front surface engages the first side surface and the second side surface by one or more blunted surfaces, and the rear surface engages the first side surface and the second side surface by one or more blunted surfaces. A blade extends from the root.
Reduced stress boss geometry for a gas turbine engine
A case for a gas turbine engine includes a case wall and a boss that extends from the case wall. The boss includes a perimeter step.
REMOVABLE PIN ON A TURBOMACHINE NOZZLE
A turbomachine assembly, comprising a distributor with a tubular platform, an inner radial flange extending radially inwardly from the platform, and a plurality of vanes extending radially outwardly from the platform; a casing comprising an outer radial flange; an abutment axially holding the outer radial flange in contact with the inner radial flange; a support ring attached to the casing and radially supporting the abutment; wherein the abutment is formed of a head and a body releasably connected to the head.
CERAMIC ARTICLE WITH THERMAL INSULATION BUSHING
A gas turbine engine article includes a ceramic body that defines a flange, first and second cooling passages partitioned from each other by the flange, a through-hole in the rib that connects the first and second cooling passages, a thermal insulation bushing that lines the through-hole.
SHROUD HANGER ASSEMBLY
A shroud hanger assembly (30) or shroud assembly is provided for dimensionally incompatible components wherein the assembly includes a multi-piece hanger (32), for example having a forward hanger portion (34) and a rearward hanger portion (36). A cavity (46) is formed between the parts; wherein a shroud (50) may be positioned which is formed of a low coefficient of thermal expansion material. The hanger (32) and shroud (50) may be formed of the same material or differing materials in order to better match the thermal growth between the hanger and the shroud. When the shroud (50) is positioned within the hanger opening or cavity (46), one of the forward (34) and rearward hanger (36) portions may be press fit or otherwise connected into the other of the forward (34) and rearward (36) hanger portion.
CONTINUOUS SLANTED CELL SEPTUM
A panel for attenuating noise is disclosed comprising a face skin having a first inner surface, a base skin having a second inner surface, a cellular core connected to and forming a plurality of cells between the face skin and the base skin, wherein the cellular core is defined by a cell structure having a plurality of cell walls extending between the face skin and the base skin defining each of the plurality of cells and a septum disposed within each of the plurality of cells, the septum defining an upper chamber proximate the face skin and a lower chamber proximate the base skin, wherein the face skin comprises a plurality of perforations fully through the face skin and in fluid communication with the upper chamber.
Three dimensional auxetic structure, manufacturing method and tooling
A three-dimensional auxetic structure, comprising a plurality of adjoining hollow cells, each hollow cell having cell walls and a transversal cross section of the plurality hollow cells following a two-dimensional auxetic pattern, each cell wall comprising folding lines parallel to a plane containing the auxetic pattern such that peaks and valleys are defined in the cell walls and the cell walls being foldable along the folding lines.
