Abstract: A turbine engine for an aircraft includes a turbo-engine with a core air flow path, a fan having a fan shaft coupled to the turbo-engine to rotate the fan shaft, and a steam system. A combustor is positioned in the core air flow path to combust fuel and to generate combustion gases. The steam system is fluidly coupled to the core air flow path to provide steam to the core air flow path. The steam system includes a boiler to generate the steam, a water pump, and a controller. The water pump is in fluid communication with the boiler to direct a flow of water into the boiler. The controller is operatively coupled to the water pump to control the output of the water pump, the flow of the water into the boiler, and the amount of the steam injected into the core air flow path.

Abstract: A turbine engine for an aircraft. The turbine engine includes a combustor, a core shaft, a turbine, and a steam system providing steam to a core air flow path. The steam system includes a boiler that receives combustion gases to boil water to generate steam. A steam turbine is fluidly coupled to the boiler to receive the steam from the boiler and to cause the steam turbine to rotate. The steam turbine is coupled to the core shaft to rotate the core shaft when the steam turbine rotates. The steam system may include a bypass flow path selectively operable to redirect at least one of the steam or water, and to bypass the core air flow path. The turbine engine may also include at least one steam control valve located downstream of the boiler and upstream of the core air flow path to control the flow of steam.

Abstract: A particle separator includes a separator body in a primary fluid passageway of a machine. The primary fluid passageway includes one or more bleed holes through which a diverted portion of the fluid flowing in the primary fluid passageway toward a volume of the machine is diverted into an auxiliary flow passageway that bypasses the volume and directs the diverted portion of the fluid toward one or more other components of the machine. The separator body is coupled with the inner wall and/or outer wall of the primary fluid passageway. The separator body includes an upstream edge positioned to separate at least some particles carried by the fluid from the fluid as the diverted portion of the fluid bends around and flows over the at least one upstream edge of the separator body and into the auxiliary flow passageway.

Abstract: A separator assembly for removing entrained particles from a fluid stream passing through a gas turbine engine includes a first particle separator for separating the fluid stream into a reduced-particle stream and a particle-laden stream, and emitting the particle-laden stream through a scavenge outlet. Another particle remover is fluidly coupled to the scavenge outlet to remove more particles from the air stream.

Abstract: Active clearance control ejector systems and methods are disclosed. An example system may include an air ejector; an entrance pipe arranged to supply compressor bleed air to the air ejector; an inlet duct arranged to supply fan bypass air to the air ejector; and a supply pipe arranged to receive ejector outlet air from the air ejector and supply the ejector outlet air to an active clearance control system. The ejector outlet air may include a mixture of the compressor bleed air and the fan bypass air. The air ejector may include a venturi arranged to conduct the compressor bleed air therethrough, thereby drawing the fan bypass air into the air ejector.

Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a gas turbine engine includes at least one pair of fixed vanes to define a nozzle between the pair of fixed vanes. The vanes can have an interior chamber defining a cooling circuit with a particle separator located within the interior chamber. The particle separator, which can comprise a virtual impactor, can have an accelerator for accelerating fluid moving through the virtual impactor such that the flow path is divided into a major flow moving into the interior chamber and a minor flow moving into a particle collector defined within the virtual impactor. The accelerator accelerates the fluid such that particles within the fluid are carried by their momentum into the particle collector with the minor flow, removing the particles from the major flow of fluid moving into the interior chamber.

Abstract: A method and icing effects mitigation system are provided. The icing effects mitigation system includes a fluid duct configured to channel a first flow of fluid through the fluid duct from a duct opening to a rotatable member at least partially positioned within the fluid duct. The rotatable member includes a radially inner rotatable portion and a radially outer rotatable portion. The icing effects mitigation system also includes a duct member extending through the fluid duct in a direction approximately orthogonal to a direction of the first flow of fluid. The duct member is configured to channel a second flow of a second fluid therethrough that causes ice accreted on the duct member to shed on a trajectory that impacts the rotatable member at the radially inner portion.
