摘要:
Systems and methods for passively directing aircraft engine nozzle flow are disclosed. One system includes an aircraft nozzle attachable to an aircraft turbofan engine, with the nozzle including a first flow path wall bounding a first flow path and being positioned to receive engine exhaust products, and a second flow path wall bounding a second flow path and being positioned to receive engine bypass air. The first flow path wall is positioned between the first and second flow paths, and the second flow path wall is positioned between the second flow path and an ambient air flow path. Multiple flow passages can be positioned in at least one of the first and second flow path walls to passively direct gas from a corresponding flow path within the flow path wall through the flow path wall to a corresponding flow path external to the flow path wall. Neighboring flow passages can have neighboring circumferentially-extending and circumferentially-spaced exit openings positioned at an interface with the corresponding flow path external to the flow path wall.

An airfoil (34), and in a disclosed embodiment a rotor blade, has a serpentine cooling path. To best account for the Coriolis effect, the paths of the serpentine cooling channel have trapezoidal cross-sections. An area of the rotor blade between a smaller side (43) of the trapezoidal-shaped paths, and a facing wall (46) of the rotor blade has high thermal and mechanical stresses, and is a challenge to adequately cool. A microcircuit (50), which is a very thin cooling circuit having crossing pedestals (112), is embedded into the blade in this area. The microcircuit provides additional cooling, and addresses the challenges with regard to cooling these areas.

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rotor (1) für eine Strömungsmaschine, wobei der Rotor (1) mehrere Schaufeln aufweist, die mittels Dämpfungselement (9) gegeneinander versteift sind, wobei das Dämpfungselement (9) aus einem federelastischen Material ausgebildet ist und den bogenförmigen Verlauf der Schaufelfüße folgt, um dadurch eine Biegekraft in Richtung der Schaufeln zu erzeugen.

A guide tube (46) is fixed adjacent opposite ends in outer and inner covers (20,24) of a nozzle stage segment (10). The guide tube is serpentine in shape between the outer and inner covers and extends through a nozzle vane (16). An insert (42) is disposed in the nozzle vane and has apertures (70,72) to accommodate serpentine portions of the guide tube. Cooling steam is also supplied through chambers (56, 58) of the insert on opposite sides of a central insert chamber (64) containing the guide tube. The opposite ends of the guide tube are fixed to sleeves (70, 72), in turn fixed to the outer and inner covers.

An airfoil (118) for a gas turbine engine has opposed pressure and suction sidewalls (120), (122) extending between a leading edge (124) and a trailing edge (126). The airfoil includes an array of radially-spaced apart longitudinally-extending lands (130) which define a plurality of trailing edge slots (128) therebetween. Each of the trailing edge slots (128) has an inlet in fluid communication with an interior of the airfoil (118) and an exit (134) in fluid communication with the trailing edge (126). At least one of the lands (130) is tapered such that a width of the land (130) measured in a radial direction decreases from the suction sidewall (122) to the pressure sidewall (120).
摘要:
According to the invention a gas turbine blade shroud (4) comprises a platform (5) and one or more fins (6,7) extending toward a stator and side rails (8) that extend radially toward the stator and along the edge of the platform (5). The increased wall thickness in the side regions of the blade shroud (4) effects an increase in stiffness and a decrease in deformation during turbine operation. Due to the localised increase in wall thickness the mass of the blade shroud (4) is still minimised such that mechanical loading is not significantly increased. The side rails (8) furthermore improve the lining up of adjacent blades and decrease of the probability of hot gas leakage into the cavity between blade shroud (4) and stator. The side rails (8) have profile shapes that are optimised in view of stiffness and mechanical loading and are suitable for casting. The blade shroud (4) with side rails (8) according to the invention has improved life time.
