The invention relates to a turbine engine separate flow mixer centered on a longitudinal axis, comprising an exhaust housing, a shroud directly connected to the exhaust housing and intended to mix the flows originating in the turbine engine, said shroud comprising a metal sheet formed by a succession of first and second longitudinal strips distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal axis of the mixer by circumferentially placing the second strips on either side of the first strips, the first and second strips being configured to form the shroud when at rest and grooves in the shroud when operating, the grooves being defined by an alternation of internal lobes and of external lobes.

Ring assembly for double-skin combustor liner

A ring assembly for holding a double-skin combustor liner has an inner skin of ceramic matrix composite and an outer skin. The assembly comprises an annular end body, a first projecting portion projecting relative to the annular end body at least partially in an axial direction, the first projecting portion configured for supporting the inner skin, a second projecting portion projecting relative to the annular end body at least partially in the axial direction, the second projecting portion configured for supporting the outer skin. The first and second projecting portions are radially spaced apart to provide a radial spacing between the inner skin and the outer skin. An expansion joint is between the ring assembly and the inner skin configured to permit motion resulting from a variation in thermal expansion between the inner skin and the ring assembly.

Airfoil with buffer layer to absorb thermal mismatch

An airfoil includes a ceramic matrix composite airfoil core that defines an airfoil portion and a root portion. The ceramic matrix composite airfoil core is subject to core thermal growth. A platform includes a ceramic matrix composite that wraps around the root portion. The platform is subject to platform thermal growth. A buffer layer is located between the root portion and the platform. The buffer layer absorbs a mismatch between the core thermal growth and the platform thermal growth.

Sealing assembly for components penetrating through CMC liner

Combustion sections and sealing systems for fuel ignition assemblies of gas turbine engine combustion sections are provided. For example, a sealing system comprises a ferrule positioned on an outer surface of a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) combustor liner an aperture defined in the CMC liner; a sleeve positioned within an adapter of the fuel ignition assembly such that an inner end portion of the sleeve is in contact with the ferrule, the sleeve having an end wall that forms an inner boundary of a cavity defined by the sleeve; and a biasing member positioned within the cavity. The biasing member extends between a bushing and the end wall of the sleeve. The biasing member continuously urges the sleeve into contact with the ferrule to seal the aperture against fluid leakage therethrough. The exemplary sealing system may be part of a fuel ignition assembly of a gas turbine engine combustion section.
