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.

Discharge grate intended to be mounted inside or at the outlet of a conduit of a discharge valve of a turbine engine of an aircraft, the discharge grate comprising an upstream face intended to receive a gas flow, a downstream face parallel to the upstream face and intended to deliver the gas flow received on the upstream face, and orifices passing through the perforated plate from the upstream face to the downstream face and intended to convey the gas flow through the perforated plate. The discharge grate comprises for each orifice of the perforated plate a tubular channel, coaxial with the orifice with which it is associated, and projecting from the downstream face of the perforated plate.

The film cooling structure includes a wall part and a cooling hole inclined such that an outlet is positioned rearward of an inlet. The cooling hole includes a straight-tube part and a diffuser part. The diffuser part includes a flat surface, a curved surface curved rearward and forming, together with the flat surface, a semicircular or semi-elliptical channel cross section larger than that of the straight-tube part, a first section and a second section extending from the first section toward the outlet. In the first section, an area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet. In the second section, the area of the channel cross section increases as it approaches the outlet at an increase rate smaller than that of the first section or is constant. The diffuser part has a width equal to or twice greater than the depth of the diffuser part.

A turbomachinery component with a surface that includes a bounded wear coat, the component includes: a body; a contact surface defined by the body; a recess extending into the body and communicating with the contact surface; and a wear coat positioned in the recess.

A turbine hot gas path (HGP) component includes a body having an exterior surface exposed to a hot gas path, and a cooling circuit defined along an interior surface of the body and fluidly coupled to a coolant source. The cooling circuit includes a plurality of sections spaced from one another but fluidly connected. Each section includes a wall defining at least one cooling passage, and a connector wall coupling between the wall of a first section of the plurality of sections and the wall of an adjacent, second section of the plurality of sections. The wall of the first section and the wall of the adjacent, second section are spaced apart, segregating stress between the sections. The connector wall is more flexible than: the wall of the first section, the wall of the adjacent, second section, and the body, allowing stress relief between the sections.

The present invention relates to a method for coating a component, wherein the component has a first and a second surface, and wherein the first and the second surface adjoin each other at an edge, in which method i) first of all, the edge between the first and the second surface is rounded, and ii) subsequently, a coating is applied to the first surface.

A fuel supply system for an aircraft engine, comprises a gaseous fuel source and a fuel nozzle. The fuel nozzle includes a housing having a housing interior chamber and a fuel swirler disposed inside the housing interior chamber. The fuel swirler is fluidly connected to the gaseous fuel source for directing gaseous fuel to a combustor of the aircraft engine. The fuel swirler defines a gaseous fuel path extending from a fuel inlet to a fuel outlet. The gaseous fuel path includes a plurality of discrete apertures distributed around a circumference of the fuel swirler, each of the plurality of discrete apertures having a cross-sectional area selected to prevent a flame from propagating in an upstream direction through the gaseous fuel path towards the gaseous fuel source.

A propulsor system comprising a propulsor and an exhaust area control mechanism are described. The exhaust area control mechanism is connected to an outlet of the propulsor and is configured to vary the area through which air exits the propulsor system.

A modular casing manifold for cooling fluids of a gas turbine engine is presented. The modular casing manifold has an annular shape including an axial inner plate, an axial outer plate, a radial forward plate and a radial aft plate. The forward plate is attached to the inner and outer plates at forward end. At least a portion of the aft plate is attachable to and removable from the inner and outer plates at aft end for enabling cooling fluid to cool turbine blades of the gas turbine engine. The modular casing manifold includes preswirler segments. At least a number of the preswirler segments are attachable to and removable from the forward plate for enabling cooling fluid to cool turbine blades of the gas turbine engine. The modular casing manifold enables alternative cooling fluids to cool turbine blades of the gas turbine engine with minimal cost and assembly flexibility.

A gas turbine engine that includes a combustor configured for efficient combustion of fuel for the generation of combustion gases. The engine includes an annular combustor that includes an annular wall that defines a channel configured to conduct hot combustion gases along a flow-path of combustion gases. The annular wall has an exterior first surface and an interior second surface. A plurality of dilution holes is defined through the wall. Each dilution hole is defined by a dilution hole surface that extends between an entry end and an exit end. The entry end is defined by the first surface and the exit end is defined by the second surface such that the dilution hole has a convergent and then divergent cross-sectional profile. The entry end has a first geometric shape and the exit end has a second geometric shape that is different than the second geometric shape.
