    Abstract: In a compressor (1), in particular for a gas turbine, which compressor includes a rotor (3), which is rotatably supported about a compressor center line and possesses at its periphery a plurality of rotor blades (5a-d), and a compressor casing (2), which concentrically surrounds the rotor (3), a radial clearance being provided between the outer ends of the rotor blades (5a-d) and the inner wall of the compressor casing (2), the possibility of a warm start without sacrificing efficiency is achieved by configuring the compressor casing (2) so that it can be heated in order to reduce the fluctuations in the radial clearance and by connecting it to a separate heating appliance (22, 25, 27), which is independent of the operation of the compressor and by means of which the compressor casing can be heated in the case of a warm start.

    Abstract: An operating method is provided during which a command is received to decrease thrust generated by a propulsor rotor from a first thrust level to a second thrust level. The propulsor rotor is operatively coupled to an engine core and an electric machine. The engine core includes a flowpath, a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. The engine core is operated in a transient state to decrease total power of the engine core from a first power level to a second power level in response to the command. The electric machine is operated as a generator to reduce power output from the engine core to the propulsor rotor while the engine core is operating in the transient state. A clearance control system for the engine core is operated based on the operation of the electric machine.

    Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a ceramic wall for bounding an engine core gas path. The ceramic wall has a ceramic wall first side that faces the engine core gas path and a ceramic wall second side that faces away from the engine core gas path. There is a metallic wall adjacent the ceramic wall second side. The metallic wall has a metallic wall first side that faces the ceramic wall and a metallic wall second side that faces away from the ceramic wall. The metallic wall and the ceramic wall are spaced apart such that there is a channel there between. There is a seal on the ceramic wall second side, and the metallic wall has at least one cooling hole adjacent the seal for emitting cooling air to cool the seal.

    Abstract: Sealing arrangements and rotor assemblies are provided. A sealing arrangement includes a stationary component, a rotating component spaced apart from the stationary component. A clearance is defined between the stationary component and the rotating component. The sealing arrangement further includes a plurality of magnets embedded within the rotating component. The sealing arrangement further includes a brush seal having a frame and a plurality of magnetically responsive filaments. The plurality of magnetically responsive filaments each extending from the frame to a free end. The plurality of magnetically responsive filaments are attracted to the rotating component by the plurality of magnets. The plurality of magnetically responsive filaments at least partially covering the clearance, such that a flow of fluid across the clearance is restricted.
