Abstract:
A turbine section including a high pressure turbine, an intermediate pressure turbine and a fan drive turbine, the fan drive turbine driving a gear reduction to in turn drive a fan, and effecting a reduction in the speed of the fan relative to an input speed from the fan drive turbine and said high pressure turbine driving a high pressure compressor, and the intermediate pressure turbine driving a low pressure compressor, with the intermediate pressure turbine having a number of turbine blades in at least one row, and the turbine blades operating at least some of the time at a rotational speed, and the number of turbine blades in the at least one row, and the rotational speed being such that the following formula holds true for the at least one row of the intermediate pressure turbine: (number of blades×speed)/60?5500 Hz.
