Gas turbine engine airfoil with wishbone baffle cooling scheme
A gas turbine engine component includes a structure including spaced apart first and second exterior walls that extend in a first direction to an endwall. The first and second exterior walls are joined at the endwall to provide a cooling cavity. A wishbone baffle is arranged in the cooling cavity and includes first and second interior walls respectively adjacent to the first and second exterior walls. The first and second interior walls extend in the first direction to and are joined by an apex to provide a first cavity. The wishbone baffle separates the first cavity from a second cavity provided between the apex and the endwall.
Seal structure and turbine
A seal structure is for sealing leakage fluid flowing through a gap between a rotation member rotating about a rotation axis and a stationary member facing the rotation member. The seal structure includes seal fins projecting from a base that is one of the rotation and stationary members toward the other one, the seal fins being spaced apart from each other at a certain interval in an axial direction of the rotation axis; and a step section provided to the other one, the step section including step surfaces facing the seal fins and a riser surface between the adjacent step surfaces, the step surfaces and the riser surface defining a step portion. The seal fins are inclined upstream in a flow direction of the leakage fluid relative to a radial direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. Each seal fin and the base define a corner portion having a curved surface.
TURBINE SHAFT, TURBOCHARGER, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF TURBOCHARGER
A turbine shaft used for a turbocharger including a turbine and a compressor includes a turbine impeller, and a rotor shaft joined on one end side to the turbine impeller.

Solar collector and turbine arrangement
TURBINE WITH SOLAR COLLECTOR OR TURBOCHARGER, which is designed to originate innovative turbine kinetic energy through solar irradiation, irradiated by heliostats, parabolic or possibly to function with other types of fuel when not no solar radiation. With a heat exchanger through which passes the residual thermal energy is achieved in a higher efficiency than conventional turbines. In this set of turbine exchanged, collector and collector, its components are located so that the drop of the thermal fluid is the minimum possible. The team has been solar collector incorporated a radial type where the sunlight is irradiated, which in the collector, the heated fluid flowing through it which comes from the compressor, through the heat exchanger, and that the empty on the blades of the turbine motor generating a kinetic energy of a mechanical element that needs a turning force or power generators. This system can be developed to produce electric power from 1 kW to 15 kW in parable and even over twenty megawatts radiated tower heliostats. At low power is designed for can use the sensor and the sensor turbine or a turbocharger. No water uses er, no pollution and low installation costs, very significantly given the simplicity and innovation of its components.
