Ring segment and gas turbine
A ring segment includes segment bodies arranged along a circumferential direction; a main cavity; first cooling channels inside the segment body to extend along an axial direction of a rotor and arrayed in the circumferential direction, and whose ends communicate with the main cavity on an upstream side thereof; a second cooling channel inside the segment body on an upstream side in a rotation direction of the rotor to extend along the axial direction, and whose first end communicates with the main cavity on the upstream side thereof; and third cooling channels to extend along the circumferential direction, in a predetermined region forming a part of a lateral end of the segment body on the upstream side and stretching from an end of the segment body on a downstream side in the combustion gas flow direction toward the upstream side, and whose first ends communicate with the second cooling channel.
SPEED REDUCTION GEAR COMPRISING TWO INTERMEDIATE TRANSMISSION LINES
Speed reduction gear comprising two intermediate transmission lines, in particular for a turbine engine, comprising an input line (12) and an output line that is driven by the input line via said intermediate transmission lines, said intermediate transmission lines being substantially parallel, characterised in that said reduction gear comprises means for distributing loads between said intermediate lines, said load distribution means comprising swiveling coupling means (30) for rotatably coupling one end of the input line, and oil-damping means (40, 50) for damping radial movements of an opposite end of the input line.
Monitoring sensor for state of blade of rotating machine, position adjustment method for sensor, and rotating machine
A monitoring sensor for a state of a blade of a rotating machine includes a sensor for monitoring a state of the blade of the rotating machine, a first section configured to be fixed to a casing of the rotating machine, and a second section holding the sensor and supported by the first section so as to be able to adjust a position of the sensor in an axial direction of the casing.
EXHAUST DUCT FOR A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
Disclosed is an exhaust duct (1) for a gas turbine engine (50), comprising a silencer section (12). At least two plate-shaped silencer baffles (20) are provided inside the silencer section (12). At least one of the plate-shaped silencer baffles is configured as a heat exchange device in that it comprises at least one internal cavity (22) suitable for receiving a heat exchange fluid and leakproof with respect to the interior of the exhaust duct, wherein the at least one internal cavity is fluidly connected to the outside of the exhaust duct at an inlet port and an outlet port (23, 24). This device is useful for recuperating exhaust heat from exhaust gases of the gas turbine engine without the expense and additional space required for providing a heat recovery steam generator.
GAS TURBINE ENGINE INLET WALL DESIGN
A blended wing aircraft including a blended wing fuselage and at least one embedded gas turbine engine in the fuselage. The gas turbine engine includes an inlet duct formed with a generally elliptical shape that includes a first set of ellipse sections along an upper portion of the inlet duct and a second set of ellipse sections along a lower portion of the inlet duct. The inlet duct includes a vertical centerline. The first set of ellipse sections at a throat of the inlet duct is larger in area than an area of an upstream most end of the second set of ellipse sections. The area of the second set of ellipse sections increases toward a downstream end of the inlet duct. A fan section has an axis of rotation that is spaced from the vertical centerline and is disposed within an inlet duct orifice. The inlet duct is upstream of the fan section.
REVERSE FLOW ENGINE ARCHITECTURE
A reverse flow gas turbine engine has a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool arranged sequentially in an axial direction. The LP spool comprises an LP compressor disposed forward of an LP turbine and drivingly connected thereto via an LP compressor gear train. The HP spool comprises an HP compressor in flow communication with the LP compressor, and an HP turbine disposed forward of the HP compressor and drivingly connected thereto via an HP shaft.
Turbofan engine comprising a set of rotatable blades for blocking off the bypass flow duct and redirecting the air flow
An engine including a motor and a nacelle and a duct between the nacelle and the motor. The nacelle includes a fixed structure, a mobile assembly that is mobile between an advanced position and a retracted position to define a window between the duct and the outside, and a plurality of blades that are mobile in rotation between a stowed position and a deployed position, each one extending on either side of its axis of rotation with a first arm and a second arm. In the stowed position, the first arm is outside the duct and the second arm is inside the nacelle, and where, in the deployed position, the first arm is across the duct and the second arm projects out of the nacelle. With such blades, the flow of air is optimally directed towards the front without it being necessary to provide cascades.
Transition section for accommodating mismatch between other sections of a cooling aperture in a turbine engine component
An apparatus is provided for a turbine engine. This turbine engine apparatus includes a turbine engine component that includes a sidewall and a cooling aperture. The cooling aperture includes an inlet, an outlet, a meter section, a diffuser section and a transition section between and fluidly coupled with the meter section and the diffuser section. The cooling aperture extends through the sidewall from the inlet to the outlet. The meter section is at the inlet. The diffuser section is at the outlet. The transition section is configured to accommodate lateral misalignment between the meter section and the diffuser section.
Gas turbine engine with accessory gearbox
