摘要:
A gas turbine engine (10) includes a combustor (16) having a fuel nozzle assembly (24) for delivering fuel to a combustion chamber (20). A sensor (40) is at least partially housed within the fuel nozzle assembly (24) for sensing a parameter associated with the delivery of fuel to the combustion chamber (28). In one example, the sensor (40) is an optical sensor coupled to an optical decoder (42) for ascertaining the parameter. A trim valve (34) is in communication with the fuel nozzle assembly. A controller (44) is in communication with the sensor (40) and is programmed to actuate the trim valve (34) to adjust the amount of fuel delivered through the fuel nozzle assembly in response to the parameter. In one example, an end of the optical sensor (40) is arranged near a fuel exit (38) of the fuel nozzle assembly. The controller (44) actuates the trim valve (34) for the fuel nozzle assembly to achieve a desired air/fuel ratio and/or balance the fuel delivery of the fuel nozzle assembly relative to another fuel nozzle assembly within the gas turbine engine's combustor system.
摘要:
A combustor liner assembly (10) includes an outer shell (14) made of a ceramic composite and an inner heat shell (16) that is supported within the outer shell (14). The inner heat shield (16) defines a surface that is exposed to combustion gases. The inner heat shield (16) is made of material that is compatible with the ceramic matrix composite and that provides favorable thermal gradient capability for a combustion chamber.

摘要:
A sealing arrangement (99) for a gas turbine engine (20) according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a groove (82) that extends between an upstream rail (84) and a downstream rail (86), a complementary static structure (65) spaced from the groove (82), and a seal (90) positioned within the groove (82) and configured to seal a clearance between at least one of the upstream rail (84) and the downstream rail (86) and the complementary static structure (65).

摘要:
A gas turbine engine combustor (20) has inboard and outboard walls (32,134). A forward bulkhead (36) extends between the walls and cooperates therewith to define a combustor interior volume. In longitudinal section, a first portion (54) of the combustor interior volume converges from fore to aft and a second portion (56), aft of the first portion (54) converges from fore to aft more gradually than the first portion (54).
