    Abstract: A system for measuring an oil retention volume of a first member of an engine lubricating system, the injected oil flowing inside the first member mixed with a first air volume, the mixture forming a first fluid, the measuring system including an oil injector at the inlet of the lubricating system; a first flowmeter to measure a first oil flow rate at the inlet of the lubricating system; a second flowmeter at the outlet of the first member to measure a second flow rate of the first fluid at the outlet of the first member; a measuring device to calculate a first value representing a quantity of oil in a volume of the first fluid flowing inside the first member; a calculator to calculate a third oil flow rate at the outlet from the second flow rate of the first fluid measured and the first value calculated and the instantaneous oil retention volume in the first member from the comparison of the first oil flow rate with the third oil flow rate.

    Abstract: A turbine engine rotor blade including an airfoil defined by plane airfoil sections stacked in a radial direction, each airfoil section being positioned radially at a height H, where height H is expressed as a percentage of the total height of the airfoil, and being identified by its sweep angle λ and its dihedral angle ν, wherein the sweep angle λ varies as a function of height H in such a manner that the sweep angle λ reaches a maximum at a height HλM, the value HλM lying in the range 5% to 40%, and the sweep angle λ increases from 0% to HλM, and wherein the dihedral angle ν varies as a function of H, the dihedral angle ν being a decreasing function of height H for heights H lying in the range 0% to Hν1, Hν1 lying in the range 10% to 40%.

    Abstract: A turbine blade including an airfoil (31) extending above a platform (32) and a root (33) extending below the platform, the root of the blade having the form of a radially extending arm (34), being produced from composite material and including at least one cylindrical face (34). The direction of the generatrices which are oriented in the direction of the platform to allow a clamping piece (5) to slide towards the latter on the cylindrical face under the action of centrifugal force. The arm includes, at its lower end, a protuberance (35) forming a radial bearing point for engagement with an element for retaining the blade on a turbine disc (1). The root (33) is located entirely on the side of the protuberance with respect to the face.

    Abstract: A method for modeling at least part of a non-axisymmetric surface (5) of one portion (2) of a part (1). The portion (2) is bounded by first and second extremal planes (PS, PR). The method includes processing data from a device (10), by: (a) modeling at least two basic non-axisymmetric surfaces (Sk, SI, SE) making up the surface, each of the basic surfaces (Sk, SI, SE) extending between both extremal planes (PS, PR) of the portion (S); (b) constructing at least one connection curve (CR) tangential to the first and second surfaces; (c) locally modifying the first and second basic surfaces (Sk, SI, SE) to keep to the connection curve (CR) near a discontinuity; and (d) restoring, at least part of the obtained surface (5).

    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of centrifugal pumps, and in particular it relates to a centrifugal pump (303, 403) comprising at least: an impeller (303a, 403a); a rotary shaft (302, 402) secured to said impeller (303a, 403a); a casing (320, 420) having an axial admission passage (325, 425); at least one first bearing (305, 405) supporting said rotary shaft (302, 402) in said casing (320, 420); and at least one dynamic seal (311, 411) around the rotary shaft (302, 402), the impeller (303a, 403a) being situated between the at least one dynamic seal (311, 411) and the axial admission passage (325, 425) of the pump (303, 403). The centrifugal pump (303, 403) also comprises, between the impeller (303a, 403a) and at least one dynamic seal (311, 411), an axial force compensation disk (330, 430) secured to the shaft (302, 402) and presenting a diameter greater than 70% of a diameter of the impeller (303a, 403a). A front face (330a, 430a) of the disk (330, 430) faces towards the impeller (303a, 403a) and is connected to a branch connection for fluid under pressure taken downstream from the pump (303, 403), and a rear face (330b, 430b) faces towards the dynamic seals (311, 411) and presents fins (330c, 430c) that are oriented radially, at least in part.
