    摘要: An engine system includes three communicating fluid vessels that each contain a fluid. A first interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the second fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as a lever. A second interconnecting fluid conduit containing the fluid rotatably couples the third fluid vessel to the first fluid vessel and acts as another lever. By increasing the fluid column heights in the communicating fluid vessels, torque is applied to the levers to cause the second and third fluid vessels to revolve around the first fluid vessel.

    摘要: A blade outer airseal (BOAS) assembly of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of BOAS segments arrayed circumferentially about the engine central longitudinal axis, and a plurality of BOAS carriers located radially outboard of the plurality of BOAS segments. Each BOAS carrier is supportive of at least one BOAS segment. The BOAS assembly includes plurality of adjustment levers. Each adjustment lever is operably connected to at least two BOAS carriers of the plurality of BOAS carriers. Rotation of each adjustment lever about a respective pivot axis urges movement of the plurality of BOAS segments in a radial direction thereby adjusting a radial gap between the turbine rotor and the plurality of BOAS segments.

    摘要: A vortex restart structure including a flow passage having a first wall and a second wall opposite the first wall, each of the first wall and the second wall including a parting surface; multiple flow turbulators extending from at least one parting surface of the first wall or the second wall; and at least one vortex restart structure extending from at least one parting surface of the first wall or the second wall, wherein the at least one vortex restart structure extends from the parting surface into the flow passage beyond the multiple flow turbulators.

    摘要: A stator vane includes an airfoil having an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape has a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in one of TABLE I and TABLE II. The Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z are non-dimensional values from 0% to 100% convertible to dimensional distances expressed in a unit of distance by multiplying the Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z by a scaling factor of the airfoil in the unit of distance. The X and Y values, when connected by smooth continuing arcs, define airfoil profile sections at each Z value. The airfoil profile sections at Z values being joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.
