    Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blade includes a root region, a narrowed neck region extending from the root region, and a hub region extending from the narrowed neck region. At least one central CMC ply extending from the root region is interwoven with at least one insert extending toward the narrowed neck region from the hub region. A method of forming a CMC turbine blade includes interweaving at least one central CMC ply extending from the root region with at least one insert extending toward the narrowed neck region from the hub region. The CMC turbine blade includes a root region, a narrowed neck region extending from the root region, and a hub region extending from the narrowed neck region.

    Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blade assembly includes a rotor, a CMC turbine blade, and at least one dovetail sleeve. The rotor has a blade slot with at least one slot surface. The slot surface is at a slot angle. The CMC turbine blade is received in the blade slot. The CMC turbine blade includes a dovetail root having at least one root surface. The root surface is at a root angle. The root angle is at least 5 degrees greater than the slot angle. The dovetail sleeve is received in the blade slot of the rotor. The dovetail sleeve has at least one inner surface contacting at least one root surface and at least one outer surface contacting at least one slot surface to radially retain the CMC turbine blade in the blade slot. A dovetail sleeve and a method of mounting a CMC turbine blade are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine blade includes an airfoil, a hub extending from the airfoil, and a shank extending from the hub. The airfoil includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a pressure side, and a suction side. The shank includes a dovetail root having a dovetail path curved in a radial plane. In some embodiments, a leading shank length of the shank at the leading edge and a trailing shank length of the shank at the trailing edge are greater than an intermediate shank length at an intermediate location between the leading edge and the trailing edge. At least one of the airfoil, the hub, and the shank is formed from a CMC. A method of forming the CMC turbine blade includes forming the dovetail root to have a dovetail path curved in a radial plane.

    Abstract: A method for assembling a sensor assembly includes providing a sensing device configured to measure at least one variable. The method also includes at least partially enclosing a magnetic material within an enclosure. At least a portion of the enclosure is manufactured from a material having a permeability that facilitates forming a magnetic field therein. The method also includes coupling the sensing device to a first portion of the enclosure. The enclosure includes at least one second portion that is movable with respect to the first portion of the enclosure such that a magnetic coupling force is induced external to the enclosure to facilitate coupling the sensor assembly to a magnetic surface.

    Abstract: A nozzle for a turbine system includes an airfoil, an inner sidewall, and an outer sidewall. Each of the inner sidewall and outer sidewall each includes a peripheral edge defining a pressure side slash face, a suction side slash face, a leading edge face, and a trailing edge face. At least one of the inner sidewall pressure side slash face, the inner sidewall suction side slash face, the outer sidewall pressure side slash face, or the outer sidewall suction side slash face includes a first swept surface extending at a first angle relative to a nominal slash face angle and a second swept surface extending at a second angle relative to the nominal slash face angle. The first and second swept surfaces meet at a joining line that is circumferentially aligned with a stiffening member extending circumferentially on a respective sidewall.

    Abstract: A turbine nozzle for a gas turbine includes: an airfoil having an airfoil shape having a nominal profile substantially in accordance with at least a portion of Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in TABLE I. The Cartesian coordinate values are non-dimensional values of from 0% to 100% convertible to distances by multiplying the values by a height of the airfoil expressed in units of distance. The X and Y values are connected by smooth continuing arcs that define airfoil profile sections at each distance Z along at least a portion of the airfoil, and the airfoil profile sections at the Z distances are joined smoothly with one another to form the nominal profile. A trailing edge profile for a turbine nozzle is also disclosed.
